<DIV>There is only one input to the Intersync that turns on the head and
capstan. It comes from the relay control box. Now if you say that
with the tape tension arm lowered and not in the play mode, it starts up by
itself, then go into the Intersync. Not knowing which dash version, you
have, I do not want to go much further. I have the book for a dash 11
version. This would be from about 1971.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can tell the dash number by looking at the back side panel. There
should be a tag with the information. It will have a part number like
1809927-11. I will look further to see if I can give you where to
look.</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Thanks Chris, <BR>Appreciate the input. <BR><BR>Was at
the client last night and I fired up the machine cold with no tape in
it. <BR>For the first 5 minutes, I could hold back the tension arm and
press play and the head/capstan would fire up and shut down as normal.
<BR>Around 5 minutes, (with no tape running) the head and capstan
started up by themselves. <BR><BR>Now this looks like a transistor or
capacitor issue. <BR><BR>I powered down and removed the delay card
behind the main control panel (not that). <BR>What books I have on the
VR2000 indicate that there are 2 switch logic cards somewhere in the
unit. <BR>Unfortunately does not say were. <BR><BR>This is my first
experience with a 2000, so I guess I am going to learn quickly were
everything is. <BR><BR>Thanks for the help - Everybody ! <BR><BR>Lee

<DIV>There was a recent posting about the head and capstan still
spinning after the tape came to an end.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I looked at the Intersync and VR-1200 control system. The
best guess is that if the VR-2000 has the same or similar control box
with the relays, then the ready relay is sticking. The control
box should have a removable cover and the big power resistors that set
torque on the motors. That is if it has a similar design.
I have the books for a B model 1200 and the time delay was changed to
solid state some where along the line. But that should not make
a real difference.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Caution, there is lethal voltages on the power resistor.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best solution is to let the machine get in the defective
mode. Then tap each relay to see if one is sticking. Clean
and burnish the contacts. If not, then it is replace the relay
time.</DIV>
