Hello everyone,
https://youtu.be/Fcw9TxgvKJA
I have a lovely Sony C20 that has an intermittent fault. All functions are fine except on-occasion, unlace is leaving tape loose in the machine. This only seems to happen if PLAY/FWD is in use before the eject button is pressed. It is also much more frequent a problem when the machine is warm/has been playing tapes for 15mins+
Interestingly if I get the idler to be on the supply spool when eject is pressed, the problem doesn't occur.
I have oiled the lacing ring AND the supply/take-up spools plus checked the idler - seems to flip about with ease.
Any ideas? I've seen this on the Sanyos but not on the Sonys.
Thanks in advance
Rob
