Seems you were quite correct Martin, Couldn't find any dry joints or obvious breaks to the tracks but as you had suggested with the 8000 the header pins were not in the best of conductive states! I have replaced the headers with some gold plated jobbies, and allowed solder to run over a slightly larger track area by removing some of the laquer.

Can I see a Zero7 album their Eugene? Would love to get that on Vinyl but not sure it was ever released on this format?!

Wow, it would be interesting to know the story behind that wouldn't it!

Yes there is a relay Geoff that grounds the heads this appears to move just fine but I need to test this properly!

Martin of course I meant the pinch roller No the capston is fine! It has been a looooong time since I did any work on a cassette deck! I probed around a bit last night and I am spending time actually working out how things work, for the large picture, then I can go into a bit more detail when I have got my head round what is or isn't happening.

Well guess what What really gets me is that I had held on to a spare transformer for about
