Default Re: Philips EL3542 tape recorder problem

Thanks again for very valuable advice. I did read the same valve twice Dazzlevision, so the line up is correct as per service sheet.

I always thought these were a great machines and I saw my very first one at the age of 10 in school back in 1959. That was a Stellaphone 2 track mono. At one time I had collected seven of these machines badged with Philips, Stellaphone and Cossor and various configurations two and four track.

I will work my way through all the suggestions changing caps etc one at a time and retesting as I go. Will post any progress, or lack of !!!

Nick
