Hey all,
I've been a proud Tascam 424 owner since about 2004 or so. In 2007, the power supply first got a little loose, then failed completely. The solder came loose on one of the legs of the power socket, and the solder pad eventually was lost completely. The good news — I was able to come up with a solution through some creative soldering. The bad news — now, none of the buttons (pause, play, record, FF, RW, seem to do anything, and aside from the pinch roller spinning at the bottom right hand side of the tape housing, which begins on power up. The head doesn't appear to engage. Has anyone ever had similar problems? Any idea how to fix this?
