:Q:Q!! That's the one I have. I picked it up for $40 at a swapmeet with only one side working. I popped it open and couldn't find anything obviously wrong. Man, its impossible to find information for that thing! Oh what I would give for a service manual Glad to hear yours is still in working condition

I bought mine as part of a rack system when I was stationed in Germany in 1986. I have the owners manual but no service manual.

It's a really cool piece of equipment.....if I could get the other side to play. Unfortunately, I think I must have misaligned something when I put it back together since the top side doesn't play right either

There are places that still service these machines, just highly difficult to find at times. Easier to find than places that service Betamax machines though.

I'd like to think between myself, 4th year EE and all the awesome engineers at work, that we could get this sucker working correctly. Unfortunately, I still need a schematic of some sort to work from. I can't find anything and I won't take it to someone since it isn't that important to me. I have a working turntable I like. This one is just cool. It has a tray load like a cd player. Very slick.

Hmmm, care to test things out on a Betamax unit with a bad regulator in the power supply and a jammed tape sensor? (It always thinks it has a tap in it, even though there's nothing there.)

If you were in SoCal I'd take a look at it for you. You seem like a cool enough guy

*makes a note to load both SL-HF750 Betamax units (one functioning with dead tracking adjustment and the non-functional one) with him on his spring break trip to SoCal*

You stepped in it this time.

Don't forget the service manuals/schematics. I don't like to reverse engineer things unless absolutely necessary.

LOL they are not going to use it as DJ. This couple are over 50 in age and still have a huge collection of 33 records but their player broke, so i was thinking of getting them a nice player for them as a gift.
