![]() Do they blow (I can't see any that have) or are there more insidious faults that require replacement? If so, what are their symptoms and what should I replace them with? The boards don't seem to have any dry joints.Īs it's almost working it seems a shame to send it off to a repairman when I'm rather keen to do it myself, so DIY suggestions please! I've heard bad things about the capacitors too. ![]() Good enough for one evening though! I wondered if any of you had experience with these no doubt common issues for a machine of this age and had some tips 'n' tricks. Should I replace the rubber bits, try 'rejuvenating' all of them or go over it all with some kind of cleaner? I've adjusted the see-saw with the aid of a service manual but something's still not quite right. However when rewinding it sometimes finds it hard to get over the tape's resistance and makes a noise like the wheel's not entirely round and is gripping at one stage of the rotation but not the other. I can't see cracks and overall it doesn't give the sense of being dried out and perished. I've taken some of the rubber pieces off the forward/rewind 'see-saw' and they're still squishy and black. However it still has an intermittent squeal which I think has something to do with the drive wheels. I've fixed the start button and checked the belts, it plays, changes speed, fast forwards and rewinds. It had a horrible squeal and a start button that wasn't sticking. I've just got a Uher 4000 Report-L from my Grandfather and various cables.
