I don't know if this is the wrong forum to post this on so if it is please tell me.
This cassette deck had been sitting around in a garage for a long time when I picked it up.
It's main initial problem was that it would continuously reverse when it wasn't supposed to.
This was due to the belt connected to the counter being old. I replaced that and
everything worked fine, for a while.
1st problem:
Recently it has the problem where it doesn't play any sound in the left channel when
you press play. but at a certain level you can hear it, clipping kind of? a noise that sounds
like its trying to get through. and after a certain duration provided that it is doing
this clipping out thing it will come on and be fine until you press pause or stop. This is
one of those older 70s equipment with hardly any chips in it and tons of resistors and
capacitors all over the board with wires going everywhere.
It seems like a circuitry problem so I thought it might be ok here.
2nd problem:
A lot of the lights are dead. They all seem to be incandescent. On some of them the
leads going to them are rusted and broken so I don't even know if those are burned out.
But I cant find any kind of replacement on the internet.
Light 1:
Power to pins: 5V ~ AC
Mounted like a resistor with wires coming from each end.
Light 2:
Power to pins: approx 20V ⎓ DC
The size of an LED.
Here's some images:
Sorry about it being blurry on this one:
Hope this helps.
