Metz Mecasound CX4962 cassette cassette deck S/N 64577 care


At your risk. Any voltage or current can be very dangerous. All safety precautions should be followed.


Multi switch for play, rec was toggled many times back forth by hand.


Unfortunately it was not soft started as the switch was at ON while powering the unit. Electrolytic capacitors should be slowly reformed by switching ON for milliseconds then OFF for a while. Back ON for a bit more etc.


Almost nothing worked.


All multi cable connectors were unpluged and pluged back.


It worked. Motor stared to turn. Nanotube? VU lights went at last on. Logic circuit on etc.


Transport was softly started.


Heads were cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds. Capstan too very carefully.


Pitch roller with rose water.


It works. Speed is very low.


There is hum from headphones even at 0 volume control setting.


Looks like electrolytic capacitors need to be carefully replaced.
