Re: OT: Revox A77 weird smoke inquiry



I think I would ask Jennifer Crock who lives in the Portland area.  I think she would know.  John LeMay could fix it too, but he lives in Nebraska now.  If you need email me offlist and I'll send you contact info. 

Wait! Easier still, you can also call the guys at Jackpot Studio.  They're right there in town.

It's a good old machine.  Worth taking care of.

Sorry for some more OT stuff, but I have a little bit of dilemma and need to toss this out there for some help. I have long had a wonderful Revox A77 reel tape recorder and awhile back,
I went to power it up again (and use it for creating some new music) and when I turned on the power switch a *puff of smoke* shot up out of the back! (Yow!)  I immediately turned it off. but have been wondering what may have happened? I have a good tech friend of mine who is going to be looking into this weirdness, but he has never  dealt with a Revox A77,
and so far, has not determined the root of what caused this happen? Does anyone on the LD list have a Revox A77 and who can tell what happened, and / or know of anyone else,
or anywhere on the Web to go to to ask? So far, we have done a little websearching, but have yet to find anything useful to solve this mystery so that the problem can be fixed.
Any help is *greatly* appreciated! TIA!
