Re: Technics RS-TR555 Double Cassette Deck

Dear All,

I have a malfunction Technics RS-TR555 Double Cassette Deck. It has soft touch control buttons for controlling, auto reverse and independent motors. Recently when I tried to check out my tapes before disposing them. It seems that the logic goes wrong. For example, press "play" will forward your tape. And after repeatedly pressing the buttons and you finally got it in the play mode, the wrong wheel spin and the tape kept squeezing out.

Anyone got a hint on what to look for or where to find a schematic diagram? Thanks.

Try unplugging the mains cord for a few minutes.

Yes, you can find the schematic on Google, as always.

Now, the challenge to you, Ms. Malissa... would be to show us exactly where this schematic resides (on google, of course)... can you?

Skippy had a sex-change? Yikes!

Well, I guess it was inevitable.

Bad belts. Very very common on the Technics cassette mechs. Did one just today with very similar symptoms. Usually the take up drive belts that go very spongy. Originals that do this are often grey. Not especialy easy to change.

What a question! The former would be appropiate in either case in this case. The latter would require microsurgery if even possible.

I'll try opening it in a day or two to check out the belts. To my memory, this cassette deck is a direct driven deck which at least consists of 2 motors on the main shaft on each side of the deck -- it still sounds like a of high tech. 20+ years ago.
