Re: Philips N1500 - can it be tricked?
OK, after further investigation it appears that switch SK12 may be having difficulty changing state at the supposed end of the lacing up operation (to be tested again with a cassette soon), but purely by coincidence when checking the mechanics in the bottom of the machine, switch SK11 remains in the same state in both STOP and START mode as the protruding part with the orange coloured sheath (shown in photos) is unable to make contact in either mode.
Am trying to find reference in the Service Manual as to what SK11 is for, so if anyone knows, or thinks the switch actuator is being blocked in some way from full travel, I would be very grateful.
The bulb for the green indicator is working, but this may only light up when a colour signal is being received.
