Beocord 1900 Pause issue

4 replies
Hi, I have a Beocord 1900 on the workbench and it seems to play fine, it can FF and REW but when it is in playback mode and pause button is pressed it activates 12RL1 that activates the autostop function and that should not happen to my knowledge. Do any of you know what is causing it? /Pindsen

Could be one or more of: Leads broken off the switch at the tapehead bridge. Bent switch leafs. Oxidated switch contacts. Martin
Both the playback switch and the pause switch are okay (open-circuit when not engaged and short-circuit when engaged). The playback switch are not activated during playback, it is open-circuit. The pause switch is opposite.

Hi, The switches was fine but the orange wire to the Pause switch had fallen of (was not easy to see from above). Now it works :-) Thanx Martin for leading my attention to the switches. /Pindsen
