Re: Revox B77 Help
First thing to check is the power supplies. Have you the service manual? This can be downloaded from Studer,

Re: Revox B77 Help
I am about to check the power supply, and yes I have a manual, I find it strange that
all was working, till I replaced the VU lamps, when you power it on the VU meters kick up a tad but the record indicator lamps don't light up Jim, |
