i used the deck for years  mostly  with cassettes, recorded from a radio program.

during those years I owned the deck which is part of my 7000 system.

i say it AGAIN:

every component has been tested off-board from the PS-board…no adverse  findings.

C3 has been replaced just recently and meets its spec.

don’t have the circuit diagram in front of me but I presume C6 is on the PS board – yes, tested at 9.1uF. and dto all rectifier diodes………

don’t i need two different DC voltages -two rectifiers, remember !!
