Fostex G16S G24S later version one chip rec play pcb R/P AMP 8251897-101 Style:Model 16S R80 is 0.15uf Bit of a monster solenoid

Bit of a monster solenoid this is

Now they purr along

If you are on a budget I have another knob that's a few mm longer but fits fine and is cheaper like in half or more

I think is issue 2

This is the plastic panel that sits around the head area of Fostex B16

Fostex G16S G24S later version one chip rec play pcb R/P AMP 8251897-101 Style:Model 16S R80 is 0.15uf Bit of a monster solenoidSome news here I was informed by Costa AKA "vyper883 from Tapeheads that he found there are 2 versions of this card with the same pcb number but C80 etc has been changed probably because of differences in the head, so C80 can be 0. 15uf R150 for the G16S and 0. 22uf R220 for the G24S. There maybe other part changes and in theory I am guessing they both work but not as good, You can mix the single and 3 chip boards as long as you get the correct C80
