Hello All,
I mostly or used to read and reply etc on the vector lists. But I have recently come across an SMC2 Phoenix Jukebox, that I'm trying to revive from the Dead.
So far it appears that the Phono Control center is putting out decent voltages, but I will go through it soon. I have not touched the AMP as of yet, and have it unplugged.
Working on the MCU1 module, batteries leaked because why not. Not to much damage. It did get some of the board interconnects and cables.
I've got the MCU on the bench, providing 3.5vac and 40v to the display board along with 40v, 20v, +5 and +12 to the cpu board.
The microprocessor, I'm not familiar with, but it does not seem to want to start running, until I give a bit of help. Then it starts to run. I get what appear to be random numbers and letters on the display. So at least I know the display works. Since I have no idea what information I should be seeing on the display I'm in a bit of a holding pattern.
Thoughts on this endeavor, I'm not opposed to getting a Gen 2 cpu/display board, but would like to learn a but about this, and see if I could get it running.

Kevin, Just bite the board the bullet and get the new Ron Rich cpu board. You won't regret it. They are just plug and play. I might have my old cpu boards around if u want to try them.

So the cpu board appears to be working, but being new to this, I'm not exactly sure of the order of operations. I would think that the carousel/player would want to reset and home. But it appears that the motor is either gunked up, or jammed as it's not moving and the motor is getting warm. 🤔
Probably need to remove the complete rack and see about cleaning and servicing it to free up things.

Kevin Try moving the service switch to scan to see if the you can get any record mechanism movement. If no movement then remove flexible coupling on top of the motor to see if the motor is running. Try turning the turntable to see if the mechanism is jammed with the motor disconnected.
