I love my 424 so much that I just bought a broken one off of e-bay just this week !!!
Fixed it myself for free first day I got it in and only cost me $35 for the unit on e-bay. I'll tell anybody that's interested what was broke and how I fixed it if interested![]()
Repair stories are always welcome in my book. They've helped me out in more than one occasion.
Well .....OKFirst thing plugged it in and lights lit up,cleaned heads and transport,put a tape in....NOTHING!! No PLAY,FF,RW etc etc. SO....unplugged her opened her (not my girlfriend) up and starting looking for the obvious. First thing I spotted was a multipin plug un-plugged which I believe hooked to the transport. That got it playing immediately but... FF and RW worked perfectly but then....the playback started stopping by itself and then getting kinda squeaky.
So looked at the belt and it didn't seem stretched but I decided to take it off and bring it to my local TV repairman friend that has helped me in the past with belts on cassette recorders. So....went there...he didn't have the exact one so told me a few things I could do before ordering a new belt. He cleaned it with some denatured alcohol and told me a few other things to do while I had the machine opened up.He said clean the flywheel and pully real good and also to maybe shoot a lil W-D40 or something equivalent to the capstan motor......and guess what!?!? Running perfect now !!!
