Hello! I also have a question if you don't mind. I have about 4 revox a77 tape recorders, different mk. All have changed all electrolytic capacitors, all tantalum capacitors and all semi-adjustable. When I listen to music, should it also be heard when I switch the selector to stereo? I can't hear any tape recorder on the stereo, even on ch1 or ch2. I have one more question. Does the volume meter work with any of the revox a77 models when listening to music? As for me, it only works on the rec vometers. Any advice is welcome. Thank you very much. A good evening.
@almandog2 ай бұрын
You should be hearing sound when the deck is in stereo or ch1 or ch2. Something is wrong with the audio section of your deck. Also the VU meters don't work in playback mode. They only work when you are recording. But I think the A77 mk 4 vu meters will work during playback if the switches are set correctly. Please check out www.tapeheads.net and post your questions there. Lots of knowledgeable folks are willing to help.

If you play a prerecorded tape and get no sound when in stereo it can be a few things. First plug in headphones to the front panel. Do you hear anything with the volume turned up? If not then it is a good chance the Input amp card is not seated properly or has an issue as that handles both channels. Also if you replaced C301 on the "Switch Board" (Page 45 of the service manual) make sure you installed the new one with polarity in the correct direction.
