Tape Tech / Re: STUDER A810's initialzation problem.
« on: June 02, 2011, 10:49:51 PM »
Hi YJ:
Sounds like you are making good progress on your 810.
Try holding the stop button when you press the CCIR/NAB and Mono/Stereo buttons. There is a dip switch on the Periphery Control board that enables the calibration mode.
The caps are definitely a problem. My 810 was built around 1987 and all the blue Philips caps are bad. I haven't had any short yet but they all measure around 50% to 75% of the capacitance. A few have been open. I started with the power supply and audio boards and haven't gotten to the Basis (mother) board yet. It's the one all the other boards plug into.
I have tried spinning the guide roller and the counter never seems to move. It always works with tape. Can you run any tape yet?
Thanks,
Mac

I have some Scotch 203 from the 60's, some Scotch 207, BASF, and Maxell UD and UD-XL from the 70's and 80's. So far I haven't had any problems.
