So a couple weeks ago I had a problem with me tape shields not going down and the machine not going into fast wind. I took some good advice from the forum and (I believe) figured out the problem, or at least narrowed it down and have a temp fix going on and next when I have a bit of time I'm going to really suss it out.
At the end of a session Wednesday the problem came back so after the client left I opened up the format and tilted the deck and checked some things. While moving the deck plate the big multi-pin connectors on the back of the deck came undone. I reconnected them, but now only the top half of the ALIII works. I can set locate times and use the locate function, but the transport controls don't work. So I can locate from the ALIII, but I have to hit play from the deck.
Could this be something as simple as bulbs or is it something deeper?
Thanks
