...it's been a while, but I've just re-enthused myself into repairing the 9 machines I have - 310's, 510's and 327's. I have just resurrected...
Perfect working order - wow! I got my batteries here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362016678819?hash=item5449e023a3:g:3IAAAOSwv0tVE~YX
I've been playing around with another couple of these which I got off eBay - not working. Both appear to have been hardly used from new - in...
Success! The 700 is working again...and on battery power too. I bought a Service manual for the 700 and replaced the suspect components (see...
A few photos of the twin cassette mechanism used in many Matsushita devices of the 1990's - very nice quality by todays standards - Cro2, metal,...
Did you sort this out? I've just bought one of these very nice stereos, looks unused but cassettes didn't play or FF/RW. I took the whole thing...
I've identified three possible components which could cause the loss of audio - the headphone amp chips, a trasistor and a capcitor. I have...
Whilst enjoying The Who this morning there was a pop and then no sound through the headphones - it was nice while it lasted! The line out still...
I think it worked fine with the good board. I now have a working one - very pleased! [IMG]
I bought another 700 off eBay - not tested. Batteries had leaked inside and made a bit of a mess but it did actually work - these are obviously...
I've now repairs quite a few HS-PX310 and variants. One thing which has got the better of me on three of these machines is non working play and...
Took another look at this and the focus coil is broken - the service manual says 'replace', however, with what - parts are NLA. Is repair possible?
Test the solenoid first - if you touch the terminals with + / - of the battery tray (using wires) it should click... You can test the buttons with...
The FF RW is mechanically operated by the slider switch - it engages the small plastic cog with one of the two larger ones either side. Your photo...
I assume you are pushing the two contacts (bottom of your photo) together to make the motor work? Mechnaically I can't see a problem.
I now have 4 of these working reliably, 1 where the play/stop buttons don't work and a spares machine...plus a HS-PX510 with remote and mains...
I think someone asked about the remote option on the HS PX310, 327 etc - I can confirm that remote R36 (found on the HS-PX527) works. I wonder...
I think you're spot on - but I think I got the syncronisation out when I last went into the machine. Today I was manually operating the...
Thanks Warren, I tried a few things you recommended - cleaning, messing with the mechnaism and managed to the get the autoreverse working...
I've been working on 3 of my 5 machines (on is a spares unit - the 327). This is where I am with my working units; Machine 1 - Fully works but...
