Otari MX-80 Error 73 Bad news? Help!!!

Please Help Im up the creek with a small paddle. Big probs with my MX-80 deck.

During seeion today (of course) after power outage of five or so seconds the MX80 took a nosedive. Symptoms are as follows:

Error 73 flahing on the deck but not the locator

Audio was passing in playback and it would record but it was acting real wierdlike the logic was trying real hard then gettin stupid an failing.

after 30 seconds of play or record the deck would break tension and stop.

some communication probs with the transport which would initially work then stop counting and reset from sel rep to individual as well as disarm all tracks even if the switch was armed.

luckily the transport worked enough to wind off the tape

I need to be back in operation by monday so if anyone could help please shed some light.

Thanks

William
