So, I noticed that my machines lifters have, intermittently stopped working. I took the whole machine apart, cleaned and lubed all of the moving parts for the tape lifter assembly. Marginally better, but they still fail to engage during rr/ff most of the time.
I did notice however, that literally every cap on the power supply pcb was either budging, leaking, or both! Once I put the ms-16 back together I went home and ordered all new panasonic/nichicon caps for the psu.
So I guess my question is, would failing caps not providing adequate power to motors/solenoids be to blame? Or should I be looking elsewhere?
