Schaub Lorenz 5001 help needed
Afternoon all,
I have a really strange fault with the rewind on my machine: With the chassis removed from the case it works perfectly on pressing the stop button, or when it gets to the end of the tape. I have the power leads connected, but the signal leads are too short to connect with it out of the case. With it in the case, (and the signal leads connected) the solenoid engaging rewind randomly oscillates, making an awful racket. I thought this might be the LDR tape end sensor somehow getting illuminated by reflections from the box, so I connected a switch to disconnect the LDR. The problem remains, so I can only think the problem must be to do with the signal leads in some way. Any thoughts? |

First verify with it in the case but without the signal leads connected.

Thanks Maarten.
Okay, I just tried it. Now it even oscillates with just the power leads connected when it is inside the box. |

Re: Schaub Lorenz 5001 help needed
It's not one of those solenoids where there is a low-impedence pull-in coil and a high-impedence hold coil, with some form of switching between them? I.e. so the pull-in coil is energized until the plunger is home, and then the hold coil is energized, with less current drawn and power dissipated, as it is still strong enough to hold the plunger in place but not to pull it in.

I would check the pcb for the push buttons for for broken tracks. It's a poorly designed, flimsy part and could be flexing when you return the chassis to the cabinet.
Regards David

Re: Schaub Lorenz 5001 help needed
Sometimes there is a series resistor and associated switch which achieves essentially the same function. I've had the pinch roller solenoid in a Grundig TK819 end up in an oscillating state when activated due to failure of the resistor - essentially, the whole mechanism turns into a (low frequency) buzzer.

Re: Schaub Lorenz 5001 help needed
So far as I can make out the brake solenoid is actuated using the full 30 volts, and when home, bm contacts 1&2 and 3&4 break, that then in effect connects the rewind solenoid in series with the brake solenoid so the rewind solenoid is in effect acting as the dropper for the brake solenoids holding voltage, around that part of the circuit the VDR's look like snubbers.
Then again I might be wrong. If someone can convert this PDF to English text it might shed light on some of the circuit operations: http://www.ilove-schaub-lorenz-music...el%201998).pdf Lawrence. Last edited by ms660; 2nd Aug 2019 at 9:13 pm. |
