Omi Chandiramani:
On the tape deck itself.... when playing a tape do the level meters move
indicating that there is audio? Is there a "Source / Tape" switch on the
tape deck? If so, is it in the "Tape" position?

My Technics tape deck is not putting out any audio. The last time I
used the deck was about a year ago, and I've moved since then. It used
to play and record tapes just fine.
I've checked the obvious - reciever is set to play the audio from the
tape deck ("tape monitor" on my old Harmon Kardon 430) and the volume
is turned up.
I've swapped the audio cables from working components so they are not
the problem. When I plug the tape deck into the CD input on the
reciever I still get no audio, although my CD player works fine when
plugged into the same place.
So I'm convinced there is no audio coming out of the tape deck.
When I try and record to the tape deck like I used to, the dB bars do
not fluctuate like they did before and the tape record no audio
(verified on my walkman).
I opened the tape deck and tried the obvious reseating of ribbons and
checking for any loose connections but this did not have any effect.
Anything else I can try before I take this to a stereo repair shop?
Thanks,
Omi
