Default Re: Aiwa TPR-605 Radio Cassette Take up Reel Problem

I've a sneaky suspicion this was one of those models that drove the take up via an idler which may have been driven from a rubber ring on the capstan shaft, which of course will have long since disintegrated. I also recall Sharp doing a similar thing.

If you can take the mech out and get some pics up, I am sure we will be able to advise more fully. It must be 3 decades since I last looked at one.
