Machine #2 that I'm asking about.

Our library was given a Uher 4000 S so staff could play tapes recorded at 15/16ths in/s. It works well, except that about 20 minutes into playback, tape speed slows somewhat. It's not terribly slow, but too much for re-recording. I do not know if it slows more with extended use.

Any tips on what might be causing the slowdown? A staff member at the library says they have several vintage recorders (not Uher), and similar problems have infiltrated them.

Thanks in advance!
