I am repairing a CT-F9191. I have MTF’s repaired FF/REW clutch and new belts. FF & REW work flawlessly but the take up reel is slow to start when I try to record or play. It looks like the Idler B wheel is not turning the take up reel. I can give it a push to start it turning and it works. At times it will start to drive the take up reel after a few seconds or the machine will stop because the tape is loose.
Should the Idler B wheel spin when the capstan is running before entering the Play/record mode and start driving the take up reel once the play/record mode is selected? IF so, is there a source for replacement Idler B wheels or a repair procedure?
Thanks in advance for the information and any advice/assistance that can be provided. I am just learning about these cassette decks.
