Intermittent drum servo problems. Fault 1: Replace M54519P and readjust R10 and R207.
Capstan motor does not run. If PB pressed, tape is laced up and pinch roller presses tape against capstan shaft. Fault 1: Capstan motor is defective and has damaged IC604. Motor and IC should both be replaced at the same time because otherwise the IC fails again. Ref. Desc. Part no.
- Capstan motor 339304601 IC604 IC 339576066
Capstan motor runs in PB. Head drum runs. Fault 1: D.C. voltage at pin 52 and 53 of IC601 on mechacon board should alter if capstan motor starts up. If no alteration takes place, check if 5V square-wave signal (25Hz) of drum flip flop arrives at pin 34. The output pin 11 of IC2 on servo board supplies this signal to inform mechanical control processor if this head drum is running. If this signal is absent, capstan motor is not controlled. If this is the case, replace IC2.

Intermittent: stops after 1-2hrs use, counter works only in rewind/fast forward. Fault 1 Clean or replace both reel sensors.
Appliance only functions for a few seconds in play-back, FF and REW. and then it switches off. In playback it switches off in laced up condition. Fault 1 If the clock fails as well, the control panel processor could be defective or has a loose connection. If everything else is ok, replace the mode switch anyway. Does the counter mechanism run ? If not then keep looking.
The playback head does not turn during play command. Fault 1: Check IC2 (VC2023).
The appliance indicates the presence of a cassette when none has been inserted. When a cassette is inserted the appliance will not go to play. Fault 1: Check for open circuits on the connectors of the chassis.
