[gaborbela]

HI
I would like to ask for some help or some idea . I have a Luxman K-15 3 head cassette tape deck , really nice condition .
Unfortunately I can't us it because after 15-20 seconds it shut done .It doesn't matter which function I use , play , FF, rewind always does the same .
Every function it works , I can listen music for 20 second .
I replaced all the belt and still the same problem .
Please if you have any experience or any idea please let me know .
I like that deck so nice ,no scratches , rose wood case in a good condition .
I would appreciate any help or idea .
Thanks
Greetings

The first thing to do is get the service manual. I think there is some sort of sensor that detect rotation of the take-up spindle. When it stops rotating, it turns the deck off. Probably something wrong with the sensor or the circuit.

HI
We tested the sensor with a help of a technician , the sensor is OK .
But We just realised the digital counter is not counting at all .It doesnt matter if play ,rew, or FF mode I turn it after 20sec it turns of but the counter still shows 000 .
I will tray to find a service manual because the condition of the deck is so good it worth that much to try to fix it .
Any more idea welcome or if someone have a service manual I would be interested on it .

Thanks

Regards

Hi gaborbela,

Last time I checked, there was still a Luxman discussion group at http://www.yahoogroups.com . In that group's message archives, you can find the name and email address, etc, of a guy, somewhere in Europe IIRC, who has most or all of the Luxman service manuals, and sells copies of them. I bought one from him, without a problem, a few years ago.

If he doesn't have the manual you need, then maybe someone else there might have it, or at least might be able to provide some help.

Good luck.
