Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

plug it in

Plug it in, turn it on, and see if it works. But stay near it and see if anything starts to smell. Mine started to smell, then smoke (no fire, luckily.) I put in on the bench, opened it up, and identified the bad cap. It was pretty obvious. I replaced all three of the same type and the machine now works fine.

BUT ... the same thing happened to my A700 and now have to deal with that baby.

I'll post again with more details on which caps to replace.
