Reel deep thoughts...
That sounds like a bad relay on channel 1.
Thanks for the reminder...I forgot that 38 still has 1 card per channel.
Swap cards 1 and 2 and see if the problem follows the card, but that sounds exactly like a bad relay...and to get the cards out...
That crossbar and the friction of the card connectors are the only things holding them in. Do you see holes through the corners of the cards? You can make a bale out of a piece of coat hanger or something like that. Hook it through and then you've got a handle to pull and gently rock back and forth as you pull. It'll come but they can indeed be tough if they haven't been pulled in a long time. Who knows...reseating the cards may addrfess your channel 1 problem and is sort of SOP with a vintage deck if it hasn't been done...a little contact cleaner and seat and reseat each card.
BTW, nice job.
