Dude, that's super nice of you and yes, haha hear this message loud and clear. I'd like to think I'm on the same path of studying and learning and one day be able to maintain the equipment I like to use, which as it stands is analogue equipment and if at any point I can afford to upgrade from...

I'm in the UK yeah. This whole process is mad stressful for me not going to lie, eg. I've just put the mixer back together and now there's something up with the VU meters... channel 2 needle is not responding and neither is channel 3's unless I press down "meter 3/4/mon" button on the master out...

I do not want to wait for a replacement assembly, i want to fix it now but with my lack of knowledge doesn’t seem likely. I appreciate your response i really do, but finding a new part that fits the specs with limited knowledge is a big ask. I tried but it didnt seem obvious to me, i have...

Ok sure, thanks. I did try and source an original replacement from tascam ninja but he has sold out of that PCB and said other people are also waiting, he did mention someone he spoke to managed to replace it with a newer part but that someone didn't say what with. Been looking through Mouser...

Unfortunately there no replacement parts for this pcb anywhere online so a fix (if possible) is only solution. Can i remove the shaft part from the metal holder and potentially try repair something under here, or is that a terrible idea?

When I press down the knob itself. The plastic shaft moves about 1mm max 2.

Hi @sweetbeats just circling back to this as I opened up the mixer to take a look again at this headphone monitor issue (just plays out of one headphone, but works with both when I press it down) I re-soldered the connections to the board for the R421 monitor pot but it still does the same...

I'm currently restoring a second machine I own and can confirm once you get the bracket for the "hub" off it does indeed spin inside the holder. It had seized up which it also has in the other machine I own too so will have to get back in there to sort those ones as well. Once cleaned like in...

Hi @ecc83 thanks for your reply. So I just disassembled the flywheel assembly block, took off the belt and twisted the capstan shaft by hand and the flywheel spins freely and smoothly. Feels like it's all ok in there. I don't want to have to disassemble much more like the actual capstan shaft...

ok makes sense, and should be achievable with my lack of soldering skills, thanks sweetbeats

I have a similar issue going on here. I have two machines that I'm trying to turn into one perfectly running machine. On one of them, the capstan shaft and flywheel can move back and forth (both flywheel and shaft) which likewise to the original poster hadn't caused me an issue previously as I...

What do you mean by re-flow the solder joints? I’m not familiar with electronics

I only get signal to the left headphone unless I push the monitor knob down and then I get a signal to both left and right. I forgot about this and remember now when I used it to record when I had everything set up previously I use to tape it down to record anything that required being mic’ed up.

Edit: I have this same issue, trying to find a replacement pot atm, anyone know the name of the pot for the headphone monitor? Found out it is this: Ref no. R421 Parts no. 5282411000 Description: 1S2UVR 12, 20KCX2

Exactly, I cleaned the panels once they were removed, I then used a couple of cans of compressed air to remove dust mainly around the knobs, switches, faders (mind there wasn’t much around the faders) and in and around the PCBs, then the isopropyl alcohol to then clean up stubborn bits of dust...
