ooo man mister Dirk....if you (anf fiew others) can't help me ......than :( ........

but can someone explain how circuit for erasing works......there is oscilator and little trafo.....so it is multivibrator ecc82 creating sound that is inaudible....and that is how tape is erased?

http://www.schematicheaven.com/effects/ ... _ng-51.pdf

writing heads were replaced with some strange little ones...and I could not measure them with ohmmeter....I've opened one ,and it was isolated with little plastic part from input cable...

help please

I could find heads from some old magnetophons????....or modern tape recorders? :blackeye

thanks

The erase oszillator normally runs on 100 kHz, so it is inaudible.

A part of this 100 kHz signal is also used to "bias" the tape (to reduce distortion).
