Emax

well it sounds like the inverter is bad in the display and the sound not working....hummmmmmm could be that even though you have the vol slider all the way up, it is reading all the way down due to a failed slider pot. There is a calbration that you can do that tests all that stuff...some one on the group maybe able to tell you how to get to it faster.

  Hello Rich,

  Many thanks indeed for all of your help. As you said Teac drive do tend to be fussy!!
  The only thing I have to do now is try and get an output from my Emax II!!
  For some reason I'm not getting any audio output.
  I've tried the phones, and the mono mix sockets, but I'm not getting any sound. The Emax 
  has been in transit, and the audio output was working before it was shipped.
  I've checked all of the connections, ie: ribbon cables, etc, but no joy.
  The strange thing is, i get an audible pop when I insert, or remove the jack plug into the 
  sockets, so I know the output board is active, which is a good sign.
  Is there anything else I can try?
  I need to get the rack working asap, as I've got a show after the holidays, and my Emax II 
  keyboard's LCD is still not working, despite swapping out the LCD........this has not been a 
  good week in Emax land!!
  Happy holidays to you Rich,

  Regards & best wishes

  Dave
