This exchange is typical for this and other groups. Yes, it's
file://always//
right to start with simple suggestions (as I requested for my recent VCR
problems).

But ultimately, you have start getting down and dirty. Western society
is
modeled (in part) on Greek culture, but unlike the Greeks, we are not
content to theorize about problems -- only "doing" will solve them. I
urge
Mr Cook to ask the pub owner to let him troubleshoot the system. If the
owner won't let him -- then (other than theoretical curiosity) what is
the
point of discussing this?

By the way, no one has answered my question about how to remove the
transport board without ripping the VCR to shreds.



The point in discussing this is to educate ourselves by sharing
information.

Now, have you ever come across the type of cable I have just described,
and
what can happen if you are unaware that the black coating is actually
conductive, or would you rather not know about this kind of thing?



Gareth.

I've never come across that. But then up to a couple of months back I've
never come across non-burnt, clean and dry , as made pcb material , going
conductive on Marshall amps at valve voltages

I'd be a liar if I said it didn't interest. me I might need just that
information next week or next month or next year when I'm working on my own
or someone else's equipment.

But you can talk something to death. At some point, someone has to start
troubleshooting this system. Theory is great in getting you started, but
only hard observations will guide you to the solution. At least in cases
like this, where there is no obvious explanation for the problem.

As long as we're sharing... I once used faucet washers to isolate
rack-mounted audio equipment from the rack. But it didn't eliminate the
ground loops. I then discovered that black faucet washers are often
conductive. Red ones aren't.

jukeboxes also permit access to a wide variety of tunes, so that his
customers can play exactly what suits them.

Do they still have silent records?

I created a silent minidisc last week , to clone the TOC to one with a
corrupted TOC, worked a treat.

I saw a "silent disco" at a Festival a while ago - everyone wears radio
headphones.
Extremely amusing to watch!

At least they get to decide individually how much hearing damage they want.
