My plan was to get the machine going and rip all tapes through the SPDIF to a computer - yes, it actually converts analog to digital inside - and is better at it than I thought. Learned a lot about this machine when disassembling it, but still it is a mystery why it won't plays this one tape - or others maybe, I havent' tried all 200 or so. I measured the problem tape to a couple of others - can't find any differences. I use to slap them in my palm a few times so the tape windings settle in line inside - that always loosen them up. Not those I had anyway.įound another tape with a shorter run than C60 and that ran perfectly - so now I'm down to one tape that wont play. I havent got any fancy scope so my measuring in motion is way too slow to really know whats going on, I tried to connect a standard LED parallell to the pins of the IR, but it cannot drive it on any polarity. I managed to measure the voltage is going from 0-3volts when the reflectors pass by the IR. I cleaned the perfect looking 6-part reflector under each spool too. I managed to get both off without destroying the holding tip, and clean the perfect looking IR emitter/reciever under each. Back from the fumes of various liquids.Įveryting seems to be ok with the motion detectors under the spools.
