[#1] Troubleshooting Revox A77     
Am a Learner, and enjoy learning a few things from fixing things...

this A77 ---Cheerfully brought with unknown issue

Quick background - First power up...things seem work for a few sec , then it smoke..End of tape Blub brew, the Capstan motor no longer running......... all the rest of the fast forward , Rewind...etc are ok

Since Capstan not running anymore , so the rest is uncertain

first check ; 24V Ac Is present , F102 Fuse at one of the power supply section blew

so i get a few fuse ( 630ma Slow Blow), it all blew ... so cannot check things further...

so first things first...

why F102 keep blewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ? Seem something is shorted...

questions

1 -- if D101 at fault ...will it cause f102 blew ?

or

2-- or somewhere down the 21VDC ...seem it is an connection to EOT ( End of tape Senors circuit ) m, it has a short, so F102 blew ?

3)...not sure...


wish someone may enjoy some troubleshooting fun , happy to mess around with me...

such troubleshooting may inspire the other A77 user to solve their issue..etc..too


thx for reading........

nice to learn some simple things..but it seem complicate for me at this stage..

thxxxxxx

FYI ..... Once these 2 guy fixed the wrong polarity of C101, F102 stopped blowing up.......

thzx kenny

first link... the guy made a mistake of wiring after he done some recap...

the second link...seem ...my cause...but the guy mounted a Cap wrongly..

haha thx

This a77 seem never serviced.. At this moment I assume those wiring and components are all untouched..

Haha.. Google ING..

i do notice..there are quite many people...having new issue after recap ,since they put things back with some mistake.., hence i may be the next..haha

why not an off topic but nice photo haha

Haha, While the fuse was blown at the first time, some isolations should be done such as the rectifier module, dc outs... etc, before trials afterwards. BTW, I like A77, when it came to hk, was named 利獲時,and the agent was likely called 謀得利, old British style of doing things, like, although the sun is set.

Yes..and later. Today. Shall try to find where may be the short.. And then st the transistor

That is called stupidity or lack of exp...

Haha

嗰啲usb光管真係好用


That pcb.. 有粒好隱藏性被擋住嘅螺絲... 嘩好似好大工程先拆到出嚟

Today... Measure some resistance.. Around.. And check thsoe diodes and transistor etc...

But seem need to remove that pcb.. Haha

最近喺幾部 teac A series and this revox A77 內部結構多了一些相處時間

發現他們有著一些 相似嘅感覺

Still finding way to take the pcb out and making some measurement haha

For any one like to know more. About this board for your A77
great this guy...give me an good answer ...., the hidden screw... it is enough space to unscrew..without the need to remove the solenoid hahahahaahah ( at his video about 23:30 time mark )

need to replace those 2 ...which blockj back current when Solenoid is activated , one of them goes bad..

from the guy said..if once it is on and fuse blew...first thing to check are those 2 diode

- D151 Si-diode PAB212 50V - 200mA - 70°
- D152 Si-diode BA127 50V - 100mA - 70°

some of the A77 version it is D121 ...but not 151

wish i have the correct diode at home..haha unlikely..i have some but unlikely

Suppose I can hook up a oscilloscope, install another fuse... And look for the back emf generated by the solenoid coil ramp up, If a bit of luck.. I may able to catch that trigger for blowing the fuse.. Haha

Tricky .. Need to think how to.. If I am going to test.. It
One channel to fuse one end.. One channel to the other end.. And earth to earth.. Not to chassis.. Or.. Not sure.. Haha

Instead of putting 35Vac to that fuse.. I can have a square wave input.. Etc...

Anyhow.. I am. Shopping for part..

Haha, direct measurement of solenoid back emf is sometimes dangerous to the oscilloscope. As the emf level is - L di/dt, if L & rate of current is high, the oscilloscope input circuit may be damaged by the back emf which can be in thousand volt. Perhaps circuit isolation can be done part by part for tracing the root cause is more practical. Good Luck!

Haaha

我係絕對懷疑會整壞部示波器

其實我睇電路圖慢慢都睇到亦都明白 why f103 may have issue.. When both soleniod diode failed. But but excatly understand that f102 ( the one u
I have issue. Part of my learning.. )

你畫的你的圖 is voltage嘅狀態

I guess the current is something like that at the turn on 0.1sec haha

應該就係嗰下必定會跌一跌嘅 一刻令f fuse 102 blew..

One of the brake I. E. Soleniod seem not functioning too from a study last nite


所以琴晚就諗 如果我送過sine wave or square wave instead of 36vdc.. Etc..

但係我會先change 沒有壞嘅 diode 看情況才看看有沒有需要真係要 study further..


會再細心諗諗 你嘅一啲建議點樣實行 thx

Haha

from servicing this A77

having one inspiration..., and why not to make a off box power supply for it..

haha


OLD school hifi thinking ...2 box is better than 1...

啱啱經過旺角啱啱 麥氏 閂緊門

咁都畀我買到啱用嘅 diodes haha

心急想試一試

橋式整流無short? 正常咁燒第一件事睇整流先,之後一級一級咁吸起就跟到。

Yes... Has to do it the basic and proper way to troubleshoot it.., wait for deliver for thsoe parts..

Preventive and corrective at the c
Same time..


我應該都做曬喺唔拆散曬佢之下 elimliation..

All those rifa cracked.. And leaky motor cap.. Etc.. 一次過 等材料嚟到希望找出病因....
