Just had Sony TC-377 in for full repairs. While using microphone in either Channel (L or R) no sound is produced in the machine, record needles do not move no matter what the record knob settings are. I have checked the microphone and know that it works. When I go to record, the erase heads are doing their job, but the microphone input is not. am I missing something?
When I put a tape in and press play, the spools will not turn. There is power, but it won't play the tape. It's like the turning spools are stuck .

Hi m522posner
There is a surprising interest in "vintage" hifi products these days. Your tape machines probably needs new belts. Check this site out. You can get spares for your tape machine here. Belt kits are $17. He does repairs also, but the transport to and from may be an issue for you. I suggest emailing Bob, he may be able to refer you to someone in CA > I could do the repairs,but I am in Australia. :)

You could have a go at freshening up the belts yourself:)

Testimonial: "Thanks. Good information. Regret, live too far away from Crouch End. Still usefull anyway."

Electrolytic capacitors are good at causing hum. You could try replacing some of them, they are not expensive. Otherwise you might have damaged the left channel amp semiconducter, whatever that might be.

It's a 4-channel recorder. That's four recorded channels in the same direction. You COULD use it like a standard 2-channel stereo recorder with bi-directional playback if you recorded only the front tracks. THAT would produce a 1/4-track stereo tape with two sides (directions).
In the photo, the front and back are clearly marked.

Leave the Back Record switches in PB mode.
