JVC TT-101 Won't Stop

The Stop button on my recently purchased QL-10 doesn't work. It worked at first after the TT warmed up, but then quit completely. I since have replaced all 37 electrolytic caps on 3 boards, but it made no difference. The power voltages are correct. The button itself is fine and shorts pins 6 and 9 of the P8 connector on the main board, but the motor doesn't stop. What could be wrong? Any particular transistor or adjustment? Please help! -Alex

It'd be great but you'd want to shoot yourself before you finished.  There would be many pitfalls.  Some of these circuits are affected by lead length, just to begin with. Also, it is a trick to get a multiple pin IC off a PCB and then successfully transplant it to a second PCB and have it work.  Plus, you'd have to have the new PCBs made in advance, of course.  It would be a heroic effort, either way.

Yes you would need someone with enough knowledge to design PCB properly but the making of them is easy once designcompleted, and not so expensive. 

R&R of the IC's I agree is not easy and not without risk.  Acquiring a supply of these would make this a go for me.  Calibration, service would be much simplified and these beasts would survive much longer this way.

are you sure of 100% of what you say?

surely; but once the master is done the road is all downhill

bestie, I have no idea whether or not the particular circuit and ICs of the TT101 would be affected by lead length, but I am certain that some such circuits, using very wide bandwidth SS devices operating at high speed, are so affected. JP probably can answer your question specifically.
