My first post to Tape Trail... My trusty old Aiwa AD-F800 three-head cassette deck is sick. The signal from the play head isn't getting to the Dolby circuitry: I just hear a hiss at the headphone out (and line outs), and this hiss is modified as I would expect by the Dolby B and C circuits, but there is no sound at all from the tape (I have tried plenty). It still works as a headphone amp from the line inputs, which is what I use the deck for these days. Do you think it is saveable? Is it worth fixing? It has only seen light use over its twenty-year or so lifetime, but I have lots of old tapes that I'd like to listen to from time to time. More generally, is there anyone around (in the UK specifically) who services cassette decks of this vintage? Thanks, Alex
