This one really made my head hurt
, what with its twin din sockets and its switching arrangements, the problem was finally tracked down to a switch on the cc amplifier board attached to the play button of the cassette player, only after inadvertently bypassing switches by accidently shorting whilst checking voltages with my test lead. I spent an awful lot of time investigating the audio/output stages, the din sockets and switches. I certainly didn't expect the problem to be associated to the cassette side of things. Some switch cleaner sprayed into the switch sorted the problem
, that's all it needed. I will run it for a while just using the radio and then maybe at a later date I will look into the cassette side of things, it works but just needs a belt and some lubrication. Almost certainly gained a little knowledge from doing this one
. Its an extremely tidy radio/cass player. The radio performs very well, works on all wavebands and sounds very good even though there are no tone adjustments. Its a very good quality mid 70s item.
