Re: DAT mechanism service?
A bit more testing today. The mechanism will wind a tape fully in either direction without problem. The machine will play a tape properly, take-up spool works well. I can cue forward properly and mostly backward cueing works okay too.
What seems to upset it is if I repeatedly cue the tape back a little and let it play, after a time or two the take-up spool doesn't rotate. If I catch it quickly I can stop the play function and put it into rewind to take up the slack.
I've tried a couple of different tapes of different playing lengths.
