Default Re: Brenell Purchases

Do not recall if it the machine manages to play back a tape that has something recorded on it already? If it does then that rules out Open Circuit Head which the Bogen heads are prone to.

Just checking the obvious and of course your troubles will help me with the repairs I have to do on my Brenell Tape machines.

If it is this much trouble I can not say with confidence that I look forward to repairing my Mk5's or MK5M and even worse double trouble STB-1 & STB-2. I have Brenell valve tape link plus a Jason Valve tape link as well.

The electronics are very repairable and usually other than the electrolytic or coupling capacitors should present no real problems. Hence why I am following your trials so closely.
