Dear All,

A regretted friend of mine gave me his STUDER A807 that had been in his attic for a long time.

After gently cleaning it, it is working almost fine, transport is working well, but I can't get no playback sound from the tape.

I sent a reference in the line inputs and it goes right through the output (and inside monitor), even in play mode, but nothing is coming back from the tape.

Looks like the Varispeed, Nab and Insert switch are broken, but I think it shouldn't be this problem, maybe I'm wrong?

I can't see no jumper in the manual that would do that, but I'm surely mistaken.
This is the model without the VUmeters.

By the way it has not been recaped.
I think I will do it, but don't know if it can influence the logical routing.
The fuses are all good and passing.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Best

Maybe it has something to do with the input fonction? (in the adj. menu)
