Default Re: Philips N4450 Reel to Reel Tape Player

Thanks Sideband.

I spent a bit of time fiddling with the machine today. I swapped the flip flop boards around between machine 1 and machine 2 and from top to bottom.
I finally got the record button to switch off and the old tapes i have are actually playing!! I cant hear them as i have no DIN connectors, but i can see the VU meters fluctuating!

I am so excited.

I will use the "spare" flip flop boards as a starting point to swap out the AC128s to BC327s and see how i go from there.

The capstan motor will be here next week too!
