Akai 215D No reverse no autostop
As per the title ,
it seems that they are both dependant on being sorted to ground from what I can tell , the manual I have is awful though , so would the problems be related to each other ? The reverse / forward buttons do nothing , and the auto stop arm does nothing . Any ideas will be gratefully received . David |

Oh good grief, hahah, I guess this will explain it.
Haha. I'll replace all these and get back to you. That will explain the smell at least ..LOL. |

Re: Akai 215D No reverse no autostop
Those capacitors look ok to me and I doubt that that is causing your fault,

Re: Akai 215D No reverse no autostop
What on earth do they all DO?
I thought that model was a fairly ordinary 2-lever Akai mech with 7" spools. With hardly any need for a jumping cracker. David

David , as Lawrence says they are snubbers , except they are separate resistors and caps. I must admit they took me by surprise when i flipped the board over , there are 3 burned out resistors amongst that lot too so they are going to need replacing ****** rifa caps are a pain .

Re: Akai 215D No reverse no autostop
Ok the AR is fixed the previous repairer attempt left out a "top hat" in the sensing pole making the machine permanently grounded to forward play . I`ve got a few of those so put one in and bobs your tea pot . Now plays in both directions . I`ll get the rest of the caps changed tomorrow along with those burned resistors and hopefully that`ll be all it needed . Sounds pretty pants at the min but once calibrated it should come together pretty well I think . nice little machine really , well , apart from the fire hazard in the roof of it ..haha

Re: Akai 215D No reverse no autostop
So I`ve still got no auto stop which is a little strange . its sensing the lever is up , but not shutting it off when it drops . Little bit strange , mmm...the plot thickens

Sussed it , bent "actuator" spring . Doing what it should now , all recapped , cleaned , and ready for calibration . On to the next.
