Got one of the older Otari 2 tracks and, thanks to my brother, who shall forever remain nameless, it's broken. Here's what happened: I was set up to record acoustic guitar through a mic through a mic pre-amp, like usual. When I hit record on the machine, things blinked and then went flat. My pre-amp had the volume output maxed. Thanks bro. Anyway, now all the lights come on and the machine powers up, but nothing turns, none of the switches work.
I sit here and look and say nice and nasty things, but she won't go. Anybody have any ideas what I might have blown and where I might take it to get it fixed?
I'm in the SW Florida area, but I will ship it out if needed. I tried several local electronic repair shops, but nobody would or could help. I really like this machine and it worked great until this happened, and I really do want to have it repaired.
Any help?
Thanks, whimsmith

I can't imagine any way that the output of a preamp, however high it was set, would be the real cause of the failure you described. Perhaps if you'd attached it to the speaker terminals of a 100W amp...
