Default Re: Quad QCII problem

The tape out socket is wired directly across the volume pot (the ends, not the wiper) which is fed via switches either staright from the low-sensitivity input sockets or from the output of the phono amplifier. One possibility is that inserting the tape out plug is somehow shorting the signal to ground. Another is that it's disturbing a dry joint or cracked wire and disconnecting the incoming signal from the switch bank altogether. Just to be clear, I take it this happens even when you don't have the far end of the tape out lead plugged into anything, is that right ?

Cheers,

GJ
