Hi miroslav - what a great story! Sounds like in the end you ended up with a pretty sweet deal - congrats! I hear you about those schematics though - very small! I have mine on pdf so I can blow them up on the computer for these old eyes. The rewind/ff issue is still intermittent on my 5050bII, so I suspect an edge connector. I was trying to locate the likely culprit from the schematics, but I may just take ironbut's advice and pull each one a couple of times to see if that works it in. Trying to do this low budget, so learning as I go. Man these Otari's are built nice - very easy to access everything! I'll keep the group posted if I find the right connector! Jim
