Sorry about the poor quality photos, the flash in my
camera has broken. It is pretty dirty and has
certainly been home to mice at some point, the cat is
very interested in it.

I think I have managed to fix the track selector arm.
I assume you can't actually change tracks whilst you
are playing like you can in some vst emulations.

So all I need is one of those little red caps for
on/off switch and it's sorted!

That's pretty obvious, take the top off and look around. I'd suspect the head block as it is easy to dislodge.

Mark,
I don't know if it's advisable or not, but you certainly can do it.

Hey-

It's probably NOT a good idea to change tracks
while playing. My 'tron has a crinkled tape above one
head area that might've been caused by changing tracks
while playing(blast the previous owner!!). I would
say that, if your heads are not absolutely smooth &
polished over their entire face, don't even attempt
it.

This is not a problem at all. Feel free to move the selector while
playing.

What Martin forgot to tell is that you should never change Volume while playing. And as for pitch, I don't think you have to worry. It looks like this one will change pitch all by itself.
 
OK then!
