2 Decks I need advice.

The first deck is a Pioneer CT-F8282. I bought this deck from Offer up a couple of years ago and it was not running at all. I cleaned it up and got it to play and it sounds really good. Some issues....it will not FF or REW. Occasionally when playing a tape it just stops.....the take-up part stops turning and so it automatically stops playing.

Today for the first time I tried to record with this deck and one channel has some static and sound comes and goes. Sometimes it's just low other times it is fine and I hear static. Would Deoxit take care of that if I spray the input knob?

The other deck is a Pioneer CT-301. I tried to record with this deck for the first time today and when I push the record button, it plays and does not record. When I opened it up I could see that when I pushed record, the REC action plate or lever is not moving to engage the recording mechanism. When I manually make the connection the REC light comes on.

I really like the CT-F8282 and think it is worth keeping and fixing if possible.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Yeah, it definitely sounds like the 8282 needs a new idler tire - hopefully the clutch itself is fine and it's just the tire that needs to be replaced. There are a few good sources for new ones - should be the same part as the CT-F-9191.

De-Oxit is certainly worth a try for the recording static issue. If it hasn't been used to record for many years, the contact points are probably dirty. Might as well give the entire deck a good cleaning while you're at it.

It's a nice machine worth fixing.

Other than spraying the Deoxit on the knobs, where else can or should I spray?
Replacing the tires.....is it crazy hard to replace? I am afraid to take it apart and not get it back together.
