Dictaphone Audio Players & Recorders - Page 6 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Can't you simply take the tape from the 2750 and put it into the other Dictaphone to play it? Or is the other Dictaphone a different size tape (eg; mini or micro)?

It's possible the play capstan belt is broken - or the main capstan motor is stalled.

Unfortunately, these are parts that are unique to the manufacturer, which means they are the only ones you will be able to get the part from, unless you can find an "as is" device with a good tab.
I did find a two-leaf record switch at a site, and they may be able to get you the part if you contact them, here it is:

Good luck, thanks for using FixYa, and hope this helps.

Hello connect your unit to the PC
Press the On/Off button.

It's possible that there's a broken wire in the cable that connects the foot control to the machine. This usually happens near the plug that plugs into the machine, or by the end that goes into the foot control.

You can usually duplicate it if you put the auto-backspace up a bit and then hold down the play pedal on the foot control. While holding down the play pedal, try moving the cable near the machine or near the foot control in a circular motion. If the machine stops, rewinds or fast forwards, then odds are that the problem is with the cable.

Make sure the foot pedal is plugged into the SIDE of the machine and not the BACK of the machine. I've seen many people make this mistake...

If you press Play, Rew or FF and can hear something in the machine (even though the tape doesn't turn), then it's more than likely a broken capstan belt.

Does anything show up on the display? Like 'No Cassette' or 'End Tape'?

Are you using a foot control? Does the tape move when pressing the buttons on the machine itself? Is the foot control plugged into the side of the machine (and NOT the back)?

Sorry, I don't speak spanish, but try replacing Q609 on the main PCB. It's located on the top, towards the front of the machine.

Also make sure that the motor doesn't have a 'flat spot' (that it stalls). This is generally what blows the Q609 transistor. If you have power to the machine and a cassette in, try manually turning the motor to see if it'll start on it's own.

Usually when this happens it is either the "Pinch Rollers" or the "Drive" motor, has failed. You need to get it looked at.
