Hi,

Anyone know a way to get the drawer open on a Panny SV-255? I've unscrewed
the lid, but getting to pop appears to be a mystery.

Regards,

Ty Ford

Has the tape unloaded and been withdrawn into the cartridge? If so, find
the motor that lifts the carriage and turn it with your thumb.

If the tape hasn't unloaded, it's going to be a matter of figuring out
which of the motors you need to turn in which order to get it to unload.

Tape is visibly not around the head. Any idea where the motors are?

I have 2 of these, and they are rather easy to open completely. That
was the only poss. i used to get a jammed DAT out.

Out to lunch with the motors in my SV3700 and DA88.

The one that does the loading and unloading is probably on the side of
the transport, possibly with a belt attached to it. The other motors
are all underneath.

That's the old little portable. My recollection is there is no motor for
carriage release. It's a spring loaded parallelogram. I think there's a
simple solenoid operated latch holding it down, somewhere around the lower
part of the cassette holder.

If you are still having trouble tomorrow, I'll dig out my SV250 or its
service manual (mechanically the same, I believe).

You are correct, Sir! A call to Pro Digital in Broomall, PA confirms it.

Now, he also confirmed that the age of the electrolytics has pretty much
obsoleted this charming first addition to my portable digital recorder
collection.

If you need the SV-255 for parts, it's for sale in its current semi-working
condition.

....and if you're looking for Tascam DAP-1 parts, I've got one that
seems electronically okay - it passes e-e signal - but won't record.
