Another look an an Amstrad CPC - this time with a very common super annoying issue!

The TLDR (short) version - ua-cam.com/video/B8DY8i_X-sg/v-deo.html
Before my studio went all digital, a frequent preventative maintenance task on the analog gear was to degauss and clean the head, clean and rubber condition the rollers, and store all media "tails out" by fast forward to the end and eject to avoid self magnetic erasure over time) and make a .WAV lossless audio file backup of each cassette.
Just remember, it isn't a tape deck pulled straight out of an Amstrad hifi. It is a Micro Computer Software Datacorder. 🤣
LOL - true!!!
Looks great! Hate it when switches like that get tarnished - some can be an even bigger pain to get into. Good job as ever :)
The CPC boards are not much more complicated than a C64, just bigger. 😊
Nice work as always, very enjoyable video.
the contact bumps in a switch are usually towards each other.
It is the right way around - theres a contact "bump" on both sides of the piece I cleaned!
Thanks! Chris... N x
Thanks very much Neil!!!! =D
Re- your DDI-3 autoboot issues, not sure if you've tried this but check your folder structure. Ensure you have the following files in the root of the SD card -
AUTOBOOT.HFE
HXCSDFE.CFG
FF.CFG
INIT_A.CFG
The INIT_A file should just have 1 line of text inside - AUTOBOOT.HFE
I have the later DDI-5 so this may not be useful, but the FF.CFG that works for me has the following entries:
interface = shugart
host = unspecified
index-suppression = no
head-settle-ms = 4
image-on-startup = static
extend-image = no
Thanks, I will check that out but I think its a case of the autoboot just doesnt run on my version! Zaxxon did say it was an "inbetween version" of sorts and needed a special update - which I never got....
Everything seems to spaced out on the 464 board.
Yeah it's nice to have room to work for a change. They eventually changed it for a board half the size
ommmg you forgot how to play turbo Esprit.. im soooooo upset
No chance with Combat lynx or TLL
Still need to sort my 6128..maybe I send to Mr Commadorian for a fix....
DEoxit for the switch..... If you have any left...stuff is like 25 squid now on Amazon...
Im gonna E-mail That A Sugar …character were are the spares...
Great vid..

Haha =D
what noise does the tape deck make again hehe 😉
LOL!!!
How do i get on touch with you about my Amiga 500? Would love you to have a look at it. No sound. Board is pristine
I cannot offer customer repairs sorry!
Chris, what plastic polish you using ?
Megiars Plast-RX! The silicone stuff that gives it a real shine at the end is Simonz Back to Black
Someone likes a strong brew....
