Default Re: Advice concerning Philips N4414 reel to reel machine

One thing, looking at the diagram again. Does the brake solenoid operate when you push play? If so do the voltage check on the solenoid. If thee is 0v on both terminals, carry out the resistance check. If it gives 0 resistance then it might be that Diode D201 is short circuit and D208 open circuit. Remove them both and check whether D201 is short circuit. if it is replace both diodes. The BA217 used in both these positions is obsolete, but an 1N4148 or an 1N4007 can also be used.
