Recovering Gear-aholic
I acquired an Otari MX 5050 b-II and an MTR 10. I planned to use the 5050 to replace my Tascem 35-2 as the Otari has the added lower speed which I need. The 5050 is clean, and records/ plays/ functions fine except it will not rewind or fast forward. Mechnically the solenoids, motors, brakes, etc function fine in the play mode , so i am now looking at a potential electronics issue.
All the plugs and fuses check out. Only odd thing I can find in that capactor C 801 on the main rear board (the on that hinges out) is not there. It looks like it MIGHT have been at one time, but..???
Can anyone with a 5050 b-II confirm if this cap is present in their machines? it is one of the large vertical electrolytics.
And a link to the schematics would be really helpful
