Beocenter 1500

20th August 2008

The cassette section of this music centre worked well but the auto-stop mechanism did not operate. The mechanism and solenoid coil proved to be in order so the electronic circuit was investigated. A number of poorly soldered joints were found on the small panel at the back of the tape deck, most notably on the collector of the solenoid driver transistor 5TR5 (BD137). [Beocenter 1500]
