Broken CI-700

Hey anybody know what I can do the fix my ci-700, i thought it was the ra motor but after some testing I figured out it is the ra output on the panel, Anybody have any ideas? I am looking at $900 paper weight at this point.

Sonya,

I'd start by making absolutely sure the RA cable and connectors are good. Use a multimeter to check continuity and resistance through each conductor at each end of the cable. Check the condition of the plugs with a magnifier to make sure nothing is broken or bent. Remove the panel face to expose the interior of the RA connector to make sure there are no broken wires, shorts to ground or other defects. Chances are that it is something simple that can be easily fixed.

Hi Sonya,
What exactly are the symptoms? I have a CI-700 and had a problem with RA.

The motor ran just fine, that's easy to check by feeling the gears move. Safety tip: don't get your finger or chothing snagged in the gears. If they're moving, your motor and electronics are fine, and it's more likely to be the little O-ring that acts like a clutch. Take off the knob and clean it out.

There's my two cents,
Steve
