Hello techs, This combo came in dead with a tape stuck. When I plug it in the power light flashes six times. I unloaded the tape and cleaned the sequence switch and now when I plug it in the loading motor and the drum motor both cycle, the B+ comes up, it degausses, the other low voltage supplies are up, the SCL and SDA lines have activity - 5vpp on the scope, the power light flashes six times and then it's dead. There is never any horizontal drive. Pushing the power button makes the LED flash 6 times again. Now as I write this I remember a VCR I had a while back that was flashing like this. The fix was to reset the micro by holding the power button on the remote for 7 seconds. Well I tried it and It comes on! Great, it works now and plays tapes and the A/V jacks work but I only get blue screen when using the tuner so I guess it needs a tuner now.
