oh.. that's embarrassing thanks for catching that JP corrected the problem, but no effect on the motionless roller

ok here's a sample in better light https://www.veed.io/view/c3178cda-624a-4627-93f1-2f9f4a904795/showcase weirdly, playback is sort of behaving this time around

sorry about that ... i'll make a better video. capstan shaft is spinning when the arms are engaged

sure thing, thanks https://www.veed.io/view/ae6905ab-2694-4802-b57a-c0801f4b410c/showcase (can't seem to upload directly to hr.com) the pinch roller is supposed to be engaged during playback, right? i was trying to resolve a transport issue and no amount of servo tweeking would do the trick

the Pinch Roller has stopped engaging on my Tascam 388 i've got the deck open and the solenoid is exposed seems "sticky" when i try to exercise the inner rod i don't know how to properly test for solenoid health when i engage the Tension Arm to simulate playback, there is no visible/audible...

Having trouble identifying the counter roller... it's located in the head stack ? Update is : after tweeking R150, everything came back to life

Interesting set of issues just cropped up: In Rewind : counter does not work (i.e. doesn't count back, stays frozen In Fast Forward : counter works fine In RW : stop button works fine In FF : stop button does not work at all and the tape spools incredibly fast I'm guessing reel servo adjust...

well, i really had no idea what was wrong with the card. my diagnostic skills are pretty much limmited to visual problems... there weren't any componenets that had obviously failed, but a few of the ceramics looked really crusty/brittle, like tiny cracking between the lead and the cap... so i...

It Worked ! apologies for the long lag - got slammed with work and also did something foolish that required taking the deck apart again. in any case, i replaced U104 and while the back was open, recapped most of the electrolytics and ceramics on the channel 1 card, which was alternately noisy...

ok, roger that. i'm all in favor of PM over regular M. making a Mouser order today. I've got the components list here so may just grab Q103/104 while i'm at it. will post back with results as soon as i get U104 in. again, thanks so much SB! this thread has been really enlightening. i'm...

Right. I was experiencing the uneven playback when sourcing RMX with L-R switches depressed.

ok - sorry for my confusion there. i ran the test and the levels were pretty close L meter: -6.5db R meter: -7db

ok - sounds like a plan. going to order some parts today (channel 1 wouldn't record for the longest time, but a recent cleaning/reseating of the card seems to have done the trick. however, it's pretty noisy, so planning to recap) . meanwhile i will take a look at those connections regarding...

ok, i'm seeing that path on the pictogram (for some reason, the actual block diagram is missing from both my physical manual and the pdfs that are online, though it's listed in the ToC). would that suggest the problem could be somewhere between Monitor Logic Control and Stereo/Monitor Logic ...

wow , sweetbeats - you're a legend. glad to have a chance to say thanks for the wealth of info you've provided on the forums. my deck would definitely not be running if it weren't for some of your posts. to answer your question: no. my signal generator is just a phone app, which i plugged...

(btw when i say "all cards" i mean those accessible from the top pannel... indiviual channel cards, bias pcb cards, reel servo, and pwr supply)

hello HR I'm having an issue with playback on my Tascam 388 All signal is roughly 7db quieter when panned to the right than it is when panned to the left The problem appears to be global - measured the signal from Stereo Out, Monitor Out and Headphone jacks 1 & 2. The signal is both audibly...
