Schaub Lorenz 5001 need help

[omegaman1969]

Afternoon all,

I have a couple of 5001 music centres, 1 works fine, the other one needs some work.


I have gone through the basics, fixed the lack of illumination (blown fuse) checked all the relays and cleaned the connections. Sorted the seized tuning capacitors etc.

I now have the radio working, on AM at least. The tape player doesn't play. When I switch the tape unit on, it lights up and the large wheel on the left (viewed from the front) is spinning happily. I have cleaned all the leaf contacts that I can see. The selector is very stiff to turn compared to my working set.

What would be the best thing to check next ?

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Have a look at this:

You'll even find a link for a download of the full service-manual in post #11.
Be carefull when downloading the manual; select the right download-button or you may have your computer infected with nasties.
The right button is the larger blue squareish button that has a white cloud with a blue arrow pointing in.

Good luck fixing this lot
