Default Re: Reel to reel tape recorder - bad capacitor?

Items 1 and 2 in Skywave's post are where I would start looking for the problem. If you use an external supply use a 6 volt one. Perhaps easier to put new batteries in the machine.

If you have access to a public library, check with them for any books on tape recorder theory, they may have inter library loan service if they don't have a book.
