After using a whole careful day on finding a way in to replacing a vu meter lamp on my Revox B77, I found that to pull out the plastic piece that the lamp plugs into out of the socket was almost impossible. I had to use some mini-pliers and I can see that the plastic lamp holders don't look good any more. DAMN!!! Anyway I put both lamps in only to find the plastic holders are so buckled by the pliers, they don't feel like going all the way down and guess what! One of the vu meters turns out not to be functioning anyway! ANDDDDDDDD!!!!..... the transport has suddenly stopped working!!!!! The capstan is turning but press play, rewind etc. and NOTHING!
All this happened 'cos I wanted to change a light bulb. Now I am looking at my machine with tears of frustration in my eyes, 'cos it don't bloody work anymore. Is it time to send it in for repair?!!
