Thanks guys. I can live with it because it isn't affecting the functions at all, well, except for the control track button not tripping the control relay.That's the one thing I would like to get going because it's what make the counter work. It's just one of the OCD things, like having a vu...

I found a few more small white spots starting from the bottom right corner of the LCD So....from the right side bottom of the LCD counting back here are the locations.... And from the top side right counting back about 30 pins....

The white spots are located under the rows of pins under the LCD display. Not sure if this indicates that anything got damaged. But it does look suspect. Here are some pics...

Did you shut the bulk eraser off while it was still on the tape? You are supposed to pull it away very slowly, about 3 feet away, then shut it off. I made the mistake of turning it off once while still on the tape and I too ended up with the womp womp...

Ok. I followed your instructions. Getting a reading of around 8.61 between pins 1&2 on p128 and 8.53 between terminal 77&152 at either end of the LCD. Here is a pic of the p128 and the terminals of the LCD...

Thanks Again! I don't have it opened up right now, but will most likely do that tommorow or sometime over the weekend. Here is an older picture that I posted earlier of the control board. It's not a good close up. I will post another pic later. The big screen is the assembly that you are talking...

Thanks Cory. I blew one of the 500mA fuses. Upon looking at the underside of the transport control pcb, I noticed a few white powdery looking marks around some of the solder points. I'm guessing these were the spots that maybe went "poof". Im not the best at tracking electrical faults down. It...

Thanks! The repair to the cam is holding with the epoxy putty and everything is running smoothly. I replaced the eject button with one I pulled out of an old unused cd player I had kicking around. That now works. But, I think I messed something up while doing that. To get to the bottom of the...

How did you like Sound city? That's one I keep going back to. Everytime I watch it, It makes me want to go and mess around with my gear.

Edit...Removal of wrong info:o

I may be jumping to conclusions here, and it could me more intermitent shenanigans. I went ahead and opened up the relays on the bad cards. Sweetbeats mentioned this earlier. They opened up fairly easy and I cut a thin strip of paper soaked in a little deoxit and ran it through the contacts...

Yes. I have one of those. I haven't used it in a long time. Will give that a go when I wake up(hopefully out at the pub) I always thought it was a good idea to remove the old solder. I'll just give it sone heat. I have a good local electronic supplier close by. Maybe they'll. Have some connectors.

The female connectors are on the rec/pc pcb. I think the smaller of the two is the one that might be losing it's grip.

Really? I do have a solder sucker but I find the wick works really well. Would it be because there is more likely a chance to pull up a solder pad?

Yes D5.

Just doing some more tests.... Not thinking the deoxit was the cure anymore. Still getting the recorded signal cutting in and out. I am really thinking its a connection problem. As stated earlier, if I gently push the pb/rec card over to the left while playing back what I recorded, the signal...

:eek:DEOXIT!!!:eek: To the rescue????? I decided to give the pins of the card connector on the mother board a good swabbing with long wooden swabs and deoxit. I did this for the so call bad cards. And.....Blamo! I'm getting consistent sound now on tracks 11 and 7. Who knows though. It could...

Just discovered something. I just recorded some speaking on track 11(the bad one). When I played back I got nothing. Until, I gently leaned the rec/pb card for that track over ever so slightly and my spoken words started coming through loud and clear. Hmmm.... I did flip the machine up and l...

Yeah. they click. Not sure if my ears are playing tricks on me but the clicks sound a little weaker than others. Edit... Yeah it's just my ears. They sound pretty much the same
