What does the Key Inhibit switch do? is it something to do with AGC keying, (perhaps it turns off Macrovision?  ) |
That's a nice machine! All you need is a BNC to RCA adaptor... The only thing I ever see wrong with those is one of the threading arms getting stuck. If it eats tapes, that's probably it. Easy to fix; just remove, clean with a Q-tip, and reinstall with spring. (this is the RVS arm that pulls the tape over between the capstan and pinch roller). It gets stuck in the loaded position, and won't let the tape back into the cassette when you eject.
