Hello chaps, this is the last one to bother you with I promice! Thanks to you the others have been sorted.
Now this JVC has been got at having a quick look inside, the cassette bulb is open circuit and the holder just left hanging about. The wires to the bulb has been twisted together. Measureing the voltage its 11.9 V Any kind of load and it drops to 0.0 V .
So question is what is the correct bulb please and what has been probably damaged with the wires being shorted toether?
The clock has some segments working, the head drum twitched when first powered but not now. There is nothing else happening, I have not been able to find any information so far. Worth saving, I dont know.
Ideas, help, brickbats, all welcome.
Many thanks.
All the best.
Geoff.
