    Where is the fuse that controls the VU meter lights on a JH24?

    I do have the manual yes. It is a hardcopy three ring binder, and I also have a PDF print out of it. I have looked through both of those things three times so far without finding anything that shows the meter bridge at all. I have also looked the machine up and down physically without finding...

    Where is the fuse that controls the VU meter lights on a JH24?

    There has to be one. I had a bunch out, and was replacing them (stupidly with the power on), and all of them went out. all of the red and blue lights are out, and the back lights for the meters. I have looked all over this thing. Thanks!

    New to me MCI JH24 - stupid annoying problem

    Great. Forum ate my reply. Here's the best video/lighting I can get. Very little light in the room. I added a clip light to help, I hope. YT for some reason is not allowing me to choose HD for uploads. No idea why. YouTube What I have found that works to make it go every time is to push on...

    Cory, Here's a vid. YouTube Still need to find what powers the lights on the meter bridge. Seems like that comes off the connectors from the ALIII, but I don't know where it comes from originally.

    On a related note, I need to add a 1" 16-track to my stable. It's a much more "niche" format than 2", but I have some friends who have some of those.

    I'll get a video of it here in just a minute and post it. That's probably the easiest way to demo it. Thanks, Cory.

    I have both the printed book and the PDF from Analogrules! which is great, but I sure wish it were searchable.

    New to me MCI JH24 - stupid annoying problem

    And BTW, in replacing the burned out VU meter bulbs, I just learned why it's a bad idea to do that with the power on. Does anyone know where the fuse is which controls all the lights on the meter bridge? I've been pulling and testing the ones accessible from the back of the machine on the power...

    I hear a "thunk", and the reels move just a little, then nothing till I rock that feed side reel. I can video the phenomenon if it helps. Thanks, Cory!

    New to me MCI JH24 - stupid annoying problem

    I picked and '82 JH24 up locally, ostensibly to do transfers, but I like it enough, I may try to do some recording on it. It's like, 95% perfect, but it has an annoying habit it seems to have developed after I had it for a few days. I'm not a tape machine tech. Nor do I know any local to me...

    If he can get $3200 for an 80-8, maybe I need to clean up my spare 38.

    TSR8 - Registers signal on meters, plays back fine, will not record?

    I wonder the same thing, honestly. I mean, not record well, maybe, but not at all? Nothing? I've been wondering if there's a single component which could be responsible for this, if it had say, shaken loose on the car trip back from IL, or a relay that could be stuck, that kind of thing. It's an...

    TSR8 - Registers signal on meters, plays back fine, will not record?

    I've only tried recording on parts of the tape which had no prior recording, but I'll look into setting the bias. Thanks.

    TSR8 - Registers signal on meters, plays back fine, will not record?

    Hi all, Working on a TSR8 that I inherited from my father. He used it to do voice-overs in his home studio in the 90's. I have several reels of 1/2" which play fine, his and mine, but when I try to record on it, I get nothing, on any track. Signal shows on the meters as expected, record arm...
