TG1000 buttons for PLAY FF REV do not stay in pressed position

[helloradio]

Hello to everybody. Just trying to bring to full functioning my newly acquired Braun TG1000.
Could somebody, please share some thoughts how to solve this problem.
Pressing keys PLAY, FF, REV worked for an hour or so and now they do not stay in place
Holding down mentioned buttons invokes proper functions on playing, fast forward and rewind.

Thanks for your help

Darius

ps. if i do not have remote control do I short (jumper) pin 6 and 7 only on the back of the taperecorder or something else?

Hi Darius,

I think Transistor T3101 on Relais board is dead.

Replace it with BC 547.

This was an excellent diagnosis.
New transistor fixed the problem.
Thank you so much Raimund.
