Part three! Wow! Great machine, great work! No doubt, you'll solve it, i believe in you!
Thank you for this video Sir !
I bought a Marantz sd-60 it's a jdm version love the sound of it very Nice sounding machine
I had to do one twice, and then it worked.
Do what?
@@hifirulezzz sorry, re soldering the display board twice to stop the flickering. And it worked for me
You think one problem and then it's another, or a combination of more... kind of things that drive me crazy as you're never sure what was the root cause, for example a connection inside the silicon chip which you may have altered state by heating up during resoldering. That is enough material to drive a technician insane.
Think about it as a painting restoration. It is not a service. I am working to restore every single brush stroke.
👍🇵🇱
Regarding your issue of not fully loading some tapes (E0026 video in my channel 29:05) - check bracket that is responsible for that operation, i had once situation where the pin was bend that slides inside plastic mode gear. And also on the same bracket there are springy metal part (where goes tape door sliding plastic pin) you can adjust that metal part too. Hope that helps. Cheers!
I have same experience
