Sorry to interject here, i am enjoying following this thread and looking foward to seeing the machine run. As an outsider looking in sometimes you notice things that might help (or might not). 1. You say in an earlier post that you have tried a different reel deck (roller block) and the same fault still exists, this would mean that you have two reel decks with identical faults which is possible but unlikley. So can you confirm that the correct signals are leaving the reel deck (Bob or Andrew can talk you through where to test on that). If the above is not ok then it would seem the fault is with the reel deck. 2. If the above is ok then can you check the continuity of the green wiring loom between the reel deck and the mpu, also the green socket on the mpu and reel deck ( i can not see any mention of this being checked in previous posts). With the reel deck disconnected the mpu will see a fault and i imagine it goes through a sequence where it checks reel 1,2,3,4 and if there is no reel deck the first fault it will see and report is reel 1, again Bob or Andrew can confirm this. I will go away now and continue enjoying this thread. Jim Ps, as a relative newbie myself to the forum i would just like to say how good it is and the great people on here with the help and expertise they freely give, Well done everyone.👍
