Wow...Danny...you think so? Could they all do that at once like that?
RAH7788...let's follow dano's idea. He's a smart cookie.
Have you ever experienced removing and reinstalling any of the amp cards on your 38? It is not hard to do if you haven't done it before...that might be the first step, what we call "reseating" the amp cards. Beyond that it is cleaning the relay contacts. The relays are on the amp cards...two each, 16 total. I did this on my 58 and it worked wonders.
Do you have a full manual for your 38?
Yes the led's light and i have pulled out the cards and cleaned them wit deoxit but no change. I do not have a manual for it. Hard to believe that many relays quit at the same time. Wish i had a schematic for it. I have been wondering if there is a power suply source for the record relays that may have droped out or something. I do alot of Pro Audio repair work but this machine has me stumped...lol
All of the fuses are good, Next week when i have time i will dig into the power supply and see what might be wrong, does anyone know where i can get a schematic for this thing?
same problem with my deck,, plays old test tone tapes o,k, ..and meters jump on record mode but they dont jump on play back , with dead air, also had the rotten pinch roller sticky shed delema and still am worried to replace the belt. should i take the machine to a t,v, repair man or do i fix it my self,,
I can scan in the '32 card schematics if they're any help. The boards are slightly different from the '38 but the same basic design.That info does help a little bit, I will trace the circuts the old hard way without the schematic so knowing which realy does what, that hepls save me some time. I will post what i find from there so the info can get passed out to help others with this problem.
Thanks!
