[QuadList] VR2000 Question

[Chill315 at aol.com]

I assume that the end of tape switch on the tension arm shuts down the take 
 up motors.  If that is the case or if you hit the stop button, then it is  
in the control system.  Some good suggestions.  If other portions of  the 
machine stop and like go into E to E mode, then look at maybe the Intersync  
control lines.  something is telling it to keep the motors turning.  I  will 
look at my VR-1200 books and the Intersync manual to see if there are any  
hints.

Got one for the guys who have worked on a VR2000. 
 
Has anybody ever seen on a 2000 were if you play a tape all the way  to the 
end, the 2000's head and capstan motor won't shut off? 
 
IF I start the machine cold, I can thread a tape and hit play and  stop and 
all works fine. 
After about 10 minutes, the head motor and capstan won't turn off  short of 
killing the main switch. 
 
I have the READY switch taped off, so it's not that. 
 
If I turn on the ready switch, the head goes slightly faster so  something 
is leaking. 
 
Was wondering if it could be one of the relays behind the control  panel 
hanging on, but don't have the schematics for that circuit. 
 
Any suggestions? 
 
Thanks
