Hi all,
I have a fostex E2 that I purchased not too long ago and it works flawlessly...ALMOST...it was restored by a tech and partially recap but for some reason... maybe I'm doing something wrong...I can't get it to record . Plays perfectly, all the functions work for playback and when I setup for recording...(setting to "INPUT" AND ENGAGING Ready "safe" ) it will Engage The Heads and tape erases, but no new track is laid down. Input signal from my source is fine, (plug same cables into my Akai 636 and records great) but on the fostex it seems like the signal is just not getting in ...the meters do not respond at all!! The input levels (pots) are turned all the way to Max and I even added +6db on my preamp output source going into foster, and still nothing. The meters do not move..I'm thinking itis is either bad input terminals, or possibly a bad connection? Maybe the tech accidentally left something disconnected like a wire harness, because it's odd that everything else works perfectly when it plays back and it engages to record but no signal comes in. Any thoughts?
