Yamaha KX-580 fail...

It's the last of the famous George's kit to look at ...

It's a mint condition KX-580 with a nasty noise on the left hand channel.

When I say mint, I mean mint... it looks like it's never seen a cassette in it's life.











Sadly I rapidly trace the fault ... it looks like an open circuit head ...


... and sure enough it is ...












Game over. It's a special low inductance GX-37 head , and utterly unobtainium. I hate being beaten, but sometimes that's just the way it is....
