I've replaced the brass and rubber wheel that turns the FF Idler. Reassembled the FF Idler with a new e-clip on the end of the shaft (not easy!). I have checked for undue friction between the takeup and supply reel assemblies and the chassis or other parts they come into contact with. The spring tension on the FF Reverse Spring has been increased by adding a second spring beside the original--about doubling the downward force. Enough to keep it moving, any more has a negative effect. I just don't know where to look anymore. The FFWD is so strong, I know there must be something I could do.
What do more experienced repairpersons know about this deck's transport that I don't? Many thanks for your helpful responses in advance.
Oh, here's the video of what I mean
