Hi everyone,

So far I've identified 2 issues with this player:

1. Excess tape in the machine when unlacing
2. Problems when rewinding/fast forwarding when unlaced

I think issue 1 is due to torque (??)
Issue 2 has me at a loss. It seems when if there's not enough weight on the reel the player cannot rw/ff efficiently and the player locks up. Could this be due to the new idler tyre?

Here's a quick video of the problems-

I'd greatly appreciate any help people can offer.
