I picked up a Sony TC-500A in a deal for 5 R2R plays. It appears to be in great condition (expect for the issue on one chanel) and appears that someone may have even restored it in the recent past.
In searching the internet for details I came across this might be the model the Bob Dylan Basement Tapes was recorded on. This might be fact or internet rumor.
One of the two channels has no sound output. I tested in both play and record modes. I assume the issue will only require a basic repair due the very clean internal condition and all tubes glowing the issue is probalby minor.
The mechanicals are working for me fine.
I did swap the tubes from one side to the other, but the problem did not follow the tubes. Seems like a broken connection somewhere but I don't know how to find it.
Anything obvious and simple I should check? I know tube stuff can be dangerous to mess with.
