vintage Clarion 985mx No audio ???

[vincegironda]

Hi I have a lovely vintage Clarion 985mx pre-out only cassette deck, all the functions work fine, but it's not producing any audio???

I have checked for burnt traces
Re- soldered all the suspect dry joints
Tried it on a few different amps

The CATS anti theft system has been bypassed
With correct code.

Would be great to get this top of the range deck going again.

Any suggestions where to begin???

even with a line level, if you connect a small speaker to the output, you will hear a quiet sound coming from the speaker headphones would be ideal. I suggest having a play with a working stereo/dvd player so you get what I mean. may be a useful way to test. I can't help with solutions tho sorry.
