Ty, Your problem is most likely a shorted bypass cap around the pre-amp,-output or dolby circuits. Look for a shorted electrolytic cap, usually anywhere from 47uf to 220 uf, usually 10v to 16 volts, situated most often near the audio process circuits/IC's. I have had this happen so many times its not funny. Of course it could be something else but give this a shot before you start ordering parts like a maniac. hth Glenn Larkman Audiotech 256 Nth Hwy 101 ENCINITAS CA 92024 760 944 9048 FAX 944 0345 mail to"mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" "www.audiotech.net" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ty" <ty1k@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Techassist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 1:57 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Technics RS-TR373 I have a Technics RS-TR373 dual tape deck on my bench. Lost the audio out. Traced the output to a AN7357. Now I am stuck. No Spec sheet on the IC. No manual. Any one have info on this? Your time and effort is appreciated.
