Hi
Some progress fixing my M10A.I just replaced some suspicious capacitors and tried to power up the machine(slowly,with a variac).
Some lights working but not very much activity.
I finally got a service manual in english,and I discovered that is necessary to do
some bridges in the remote connector to get the right motor to work.
Sucess!!!
It works!! It looks like it needs some lubrication,but rewind and FF works very well.
I put a tape that arrives with the machine and hit the PLAY button:
Incredible sound!!
Left channel sound darker than the right one but the overall sound is impressive.
I bought the machine "As is,for parts" so you can imagine my surprise.
After an hour or so playing the tape,some smoke appeared under the transport controls.
Uhhmmmm! A 100 Ohm resistor semi burned.
I will change it for a modern one and some more suspicious caps in the same board.
I will put a link to the music recorded in the tape.Maybe someone knows who the band is.Is a kind of 80-90´s techno band.I am just curious about it.
Thanks for all the help.
I will keep you informed.
