Default Re: Philips N4520 Blowing fuses.

Sorry guys been really busy . I`ll try an answer you all .

I didnt replace the caps in the end I decided they would be ok . I put the motors on my bench supply and one of them was over drawing so I pulled it apart and it was full of the black stuff , cleaned it out , no more blown fuses . It now works as it should and I have now recapped it , completely rewired it , changed the tape counter IC which had died , painted the chassis , completely rebuilt it and I`m now waiting one a couple parts before I can finish the restore of it . I am blown away by the sound quality of it . Its just amazing and the speed of the FF and REW should be made illegal , its insane ...lol .

All in all its a fantastic piece of kit and I`ve really enjoyed rebuilding it .
