Hi guys,
I spent the past week working on my ST-1200 as and when I had time. Thanks to several forum members who responded, the picture is now excellent. However, there is no sound. Other users had similar questions on the forum and I followed those suggestions by forum members. Here's what I have done:
1. Sound head: made sure it rocks forward when the main power control knob is turned to F, dismantled the assembly as much as I could and cleaned the area. 2. Amplifier: took off screws, pulled it out as much as the wires would extend, cleaned the circuit board, checked to ensure all wires were connected and not hanging loose.
On one of the posts, there was a mention of pressing the record button in and out a few times. I have a problem here. In the picture, we see the red record button that can be pressed in and released by pulling up the small piece of metal under it. I can only do this when I have unscrewed the amplifier unit and not when it is screwed on. So, the red button can only stay out when the amplifier unit is screwed on. Surely, this isn't right, is it?
Please help! All I hear is a pop when I turn on the amplifier.
