I can supply on request any capacitors or resistors you may need to refurbish your Copicat, whether it's a valve, transistor or an IC version. Though to be fair they are standard electronic spares, readily available from most electronic parts suppliers.
OSCILLATOR board. Probably the most common part to go wrong with any MKIV Solid State, IC300 or Super IC Copicat, causing weak distorted echo playback, no echo at all, or failure to correctly erase the tape. I can usually offer you a repaired and tested replacement board similar to the one shown, in exchange for your own faulty board, providing it is not broken or irreparably damaged. Scorching of the board around area of the large 150 ohm resistor is normal. Exchange price £25. refundable deposit of £25 required if you can't send your own board at time of ordering. If you are in no hurry, send me your board which I will repair, and test. for the same price of £25.
Bear in mind that other things can also cause similar problems, in particular worn or open coil heads, and power supply faults
