I see two on each card. They seem like they would be an easy thing to replace. OMRON G2E-128P-H Wouldn't hurt to try. Just gotta find 'em

Okay...scrap my last post. I think it has to do with the rc/pb cards. Sweetbeats, the cards have 2 tracks per card like a 388. I just finished swapping cards again and the problem did move. So my track 11/12 and 7/8 card seems to have a problem. I pulled them out and looked them over for any...

Just an update on what's going on. The good and the bad. The good....The repair to the cam with the epoxy putty seems to be holding well and the eject function works smoothly. Tape transport runs smooth. No tapes have been eaten. Playback of the previously recorded material on the used tapes I...

Okay.... repair attempt #3 Tamiya Epoxy putty. Filled it in real good and it's pretty much rock hard now. So I can't see it breaking in any way. The only thing that could happen, is it could just drop out in one piece if it doesn't adhere to the part properly.

Thanks for the repair suggestions guys. I'm gonna try the epoxy putty this time. It turns into a solid piece when dry and can be carved with an exato knife to shape it. I'm just hoping it sticks and doesn't just drop out. I will post a pic when it has cured. I got the putty at local bolt and...

Yeah. It ain't pretty. And I'm not sure this ones gonna work either. I used plastic epoxy this time, and I just realised this is the kind that dries to a rubbery feel. Not hard and solid. I have a few tubes of different epoxys lying around. I think I used the wrong one. But I remember this stuff...

Repair attempt #2

The good and the bad.......... The good. I got the eject mechanism part mostly straight. With a vice and some heat as mentioned earlier. Thanks. I also added some aluminium putty to the part for added strength. The part is constantly under tension from a bigger sized spring. Here it is with the...

Okay. Another problem has popped up. I still haven't got to the eject button problem yet, but there is a problem with the eject function. I fixed the cam that moves the door up and down, but there is a problem that happens every now and then. When closing the door, it sometimes stalls and then...

It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It works! Cool. I got the idler tire in the mail today. Intalled and put in a tape......first off, about the tapes I have. The guy I got the machine from said he had a bunch of tapes. New and used. When I went to pick up the Akai, he only had one used one on hand. He...

I just installed the new battery. I did it the way deslog mentioned earlier in the thread. I isolated it from the pcb and used a cable organizer to clip it close to the opening on the back. Just a precaution I guess. It would probably take forever for it to leak again. Just a question.....would...

Yes. My old Dual turntable has a similar cam that makes everything move.

Thanks! Here is a picture of what the buttons look like under the panel. I think this one was probably getting slammed at some point. I still have to try and reflow the 4 solder joints on the underside.

Just gonna update a little.... When I got this Akai, I had a problem with the tape door going up and down on it's own. and At the top of it's movement, it would make a clicking sound over and over. Well, for anyone out ther who has this problem, I think I found the cause. First off, I feel like...

Yep. Under the transport board.

Yes. Right into the mother board. They come out in groups of 3. Alot easier to work on than the Tascam 388. I cleaned up some of the solder. A lot of the points had a fuzzy corroded look to them. So I used some solder wick to remove them, then resoldered. Some of the pads were in rough shape...

Okay pictures up. Thanks about the parts. I know this will take a while, but it's good to know that there might be some spares in the future. This is where I ordered the battery 3/V60R Type Computer Memory Battery NiMH I'm hoping it's the right kind. The original is Ni-cad, but I heard you can...

To start off....I'm not gonna do a detailed "story" thread, as I'm just not good at it and I don't know what I'm doing most of the time.:facepalm: After seeing Sweetbeats thread on his recently aquired Akai's, curiousity got the best of me and I located one not too far from me and I got it on a...

Curiousity :)

It's a custom bass that I had made for me a while ago. It's just a Jazz bass clone. It's real nice, but I just don't play that one at all anymore. I have 15 bass guitars so I won't really miss that one if the deal goes through.
