Ugh! I figured it out. At first we thought it might be the record relays, but when in doubt, occam's razor comes into play; it turned out that the record level adjustment screws just needed exercising. Thank God!!!! Anyways, tada!

"Bring out your dead!!!"

Reviving an old thread, as I too am having issues with an Otari MX-5050 BII-2.

Things were going swimmingly until last night when we were to mixing to the deck in repro, the level on the left channel dropped by 10-15db.. When just sending signal to it, it's fine, levels are correct, but all the sudden, the left channel, and now the right channel are much lower than they should be. I would say the left is approx 15db down and the right is 10db or so. Any ideas on where to start? Previously recorded tapes still playback fine, but since we are monitoring off of what is there on tape, obviously the tape is hosed as well.

Can anyone point me into the right area to start looking?
