SONY	TCK96R	Connection error in manual	The connection point shown for the white wire is incorrect.this should go to the other end of r719. the wiring diagram in themanual supplement #2 is not clear on where this wire connects. also, theblack jumper wire and r707 to the connecting point of t
SONY	TCK96R	Open d604	Unit will only go into fwd plays - all other modesnonfunctional.
SONY	TCK71	Alignment of tape path	Found back tension 3.5 gcm and tape path high at pinch rollerand low at head, causing tape wrinkle.
SONY	TCK61	Missing 2.5mm steel balls	The head deck assy will not move fully into the cassette. inthe case of the tc-k81, the assy jammed in the cassette case, chippingthe erase head.
SONY	TAN88B	Defective c409	Dead. found signs of overheating around c413 and c423 asusual. also found area around r419 scorched from heat.
SONY	SRF80W	Poor connection at q502, d501	Radio would not work on batteries. it would work if placedin case with speakers. power was taken from amplifier unit.
SONY	PST33	Magnet out of position	Platter would not turn. magnet fell out of solenoid detectinglever.
SONY	HMK119	Warped turntable	Record rubs on frame causing drag.
SONY	CFS67	Open r308, motor and function switch	No power in any function. resistor 308 is open, switchfunction is shorted in tape mode and tape motor is at first shorted andthen open. -hq comments: charging current for c305 (1000uf) through the r308 burnsthe r308. we should replace it with other va
SONY	TR3230	Defective q1	No sound output. no sound with tracer at volume control.voltages of emitter to base of q1 were improper.
