Yeah, I had a 180 and two 60s (or 80s, I forget which) all of which died. The tech I was using at the time pronounced these things un-fixable. Plus a Nak NR-200 that didn't die but colored the sound so much it might as well have.
The Teac A2300SD is currently in the shop. I played a couple of BC's on the Otari last night and darned if they didn't sound pretty good un-decoded. Even working properly, the Teac processors were hardly uncolored. I always thought that an alternative to outboard Dolby units might be to run the signal through one of those Musical Fidelity outboard tone controls, with a slight treble cut. Never got around to trying it.
EDIT: Just saw your follow-up. So THAT was the problem, or one of them.
