Hi all,
After fixing the previous issue, removing unwanted "noise" from the REC switches engaging, I've put the machine back together and encountered a bizarre issue. I'm getting 0 playback from tape source.
I've gone through, trying to comb out wires and connections I may have misremembered or put in incorrectly but alas, nothing as of yet. Everything else works, recording works, erasing works (I did playback confirmation on another machine), LINE/MIC Inputs ALL work but I'm getting absolutely nothing, on meters, or via monitor/tape from tape playback. I've checked voltages on the Power Supply PCB and everything seems to be in order, albeit the only thing I'm not 100% about is connections P4 to MONITOR B PCB which all read -12v, but it's consistent on every connection.
Also, I'm almost certain its not the matrix routing (can always be wrong), I've tried every scene and even inputted my own and I just can't get sound from a tape.
Any guidance or advice on areas to check would be appreciated. I feel like I'm getting lost in the machine at this point and not seeing any obvious, which I feel like this issue is.
