    CT-F 9191 hum on both channels in play

    Denon DR-210 motor repair ends up in unexpected magic smoke

    Just got a smart looking Sharp QT-50 Tape deck AM/FM stereo. When I initially tested the radio, the speakers worked fine, sound was good. Then I switched over to the tape deck. The tape advanced at what appeared to be the correct speed but no sound was coming out of the speakers. I checked...
