Default Re: Citroen (Freeman) 550 tape recorder- bad capacitor?

My understanding is that the act of using a meter to measure the resistance of a head can burn out the head.

Measure the voltage across the 500R Series resistor in record mode. If you get a voltage, the head is either OK or short-circuit. No voltage means the head or the wiring to it are open-circuit.

Reach for your meter before you reach for your soldering iron.
