Does anybody have one of these? Mine will not play, rewind or ff. The relay kicks in on play and the search arrow lights up but nothing moves. The belts are fine, I think, and the motor is not turning. It isn't frozen, because the motor turns easily by hand. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Ok, I found out why the motor wasn't working, one of its power leads was broken off. Not sure where it goes, but if I hold it on one of the posts on the board it went to, it turns. Now, while doing that, I tried to play a tape. No VU meter action at all. I know it's a good tape, I tested it on another deck. That damn "search" arrow keeps flashing. WTF?
