[QuadList] Recortec timer issue

[LARRY]

Hi Guy,

If Ted can't find his manual, I got one.
I just fixed the one on the TR-70c here a few months ago. One of the phototransistors went bad underneath the roller.
Good luck finding a replacement! We were lucky to have another one in a non-fuctioning unit.

Subject: [QuadList] Recortec timer issue

The Recortec timer that was installed on my TR-70C suddenly stopped 
counting on machine powerup last night.  Just sits with all zeros.
I have no documentation for this thing, as someone installed it after 
the fact, and no experience with Recortec timers at all. All my quads, 
"back in the day" had mechanical timer/counters.
Do these things have a historically common failure mode?  Is there a 
lamp/photocell/slotted disc arrangement and possibly just a failed lamp?
I haven't opened it up yet, but I thought I would check the vast 
knowledge here on the list and see if I can get some idea what I'm 
getting into before I take the machine offline to deal with it.
thanks
Guy
