Jerry, The ribbon cables still looks good, and it's been in and out of there about 10-12 times. UP-DATE: It's not a tape deck problem. It's a NO start problem. I get a Horz drive pulse, at the base, and collector of the Horz driver , and at the base of the H.O.T.,....but, it's only there for 1 second, and I can't tell if it's on freq. or not. H.O.T checks good, but won't fire up. Going to try a new H.O.T., anyway.
