    Help! Pinch roller not moving to engage capstan.

    I just recently got a Sony CMT-NE3 CD player and cassette player. When it first arrived, the pinch roller component was detached and I tried putting it back in. When I tried playing a tape, the playback speed was probably twice as fast as it should've been. It did not move up to engage the...

    Revox A77 restoration ( but NOT everything)

    Hello, I'm going to share what I'm doing with this A77 because SOMEONE has to! If you're a wee bit familiar with this deck , you'll have heard of the smoky , bad 0.47 uf caps on the drive board .

    Kenwood KX-1030 Worth Keeping?

    I recently purchased a Kenwood KX-1030 on Ebay. It didn't work, but externally it was in excellent condition, so I went for it at the reasonable price being asked. I thought it might just need belts and that perhaps I could get it working. After getting it I was initially pleased, because it...

    Teac X7R Pinch Roller Issue?

    I hope everyone is staying safe! Anyway, I was making some new recordings and noticed on playback that I had drop outs which I incorrectly associated with a newly purchased tape.

    Sony TC-WR610 - Pinch roller pin replacement, Reel Gear Pivot Frozen

    Transport problem on Pioneer CT-9R

    I have a CT-9R that I am working on. It has an odd problem with the transport. After replacing the belt I tested it with a tape and found that the pinch rollers don't pinch. The head assembly does rise and stay in place, but not quite far enough to let the pinch rollers contact the capstans...

    Hey all, I've got a beautifully restored CT-F950 that I got on ebay and have had for over a year. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks, it's started chewing up tapes. The tape will skew off the left pinch roller and get annihilated by the cassette's guide roller until the machine either stops or...
