Death Rattle Of A Mabuchi Capstan Motor?

[RJMacReady]

Hello All AKers, esp. Hatman, If any of you would be so kind, I have a video posted on YouTube of this noise being made by my Sony TC-WA9ES on high speed dubbing only. This thread originally began as "I can't be the only one..", documenting the repair attempt saga w/Sony's shop in Laredo, TX. It is currently on it's way back to them for the third time. If you could take a moment and @ YouTube's Search box, type in: TheSonyESFan That will take you to my channel, there is only 1 video posted there, it runs less than 90 seconds. All affirming/dissenting opinions greatly appreciated. Take Care All, RJM:bash:

It sounds mechanical not electrical. High speed dubbing then pause? Then there is noise. Sounds like something is not disengaged enough from a spinning part. Thus the grinding noise.

Three times, huh? I hope they don't expect you to pay each time. It might just be an adjustment. But if I were the tech, I would put it through its paces before calling it good.

Hi Satcom, I wasn't 100% clear on your response about when hitting pause. This noise only happens on high speed dubbing, but I never paused the dubbing, and then resumed it. So I have no idea if pausing the high speed dubbing would have changed anything. If it means anything, to fix the well A door opening problem they supposedly replaced a "slider brake". Could it be this is out of whack? The odd thing is on normal speed play/dubbing it is totally silent. Any thoughts appreciated, RJM

Have you got a better video camera? The sound quality is low, even your voice sounds distorted on that clip, so it is hard to identify the noise. Even an audio file taped on a decent tape machine and then uploaded to soundcloud or whatever would be more useful.
