Hi,
I have had a quick look at the underside of a series 5 deck (not sure how much difference there is between 5 and 6 as the operating mechanism appears the same) and cannot find any obvious method of adjusting anything. When the 'Run' lever is pulled and holds to the solenoid it just lets the pinch roller mech fall back against the capstan under spring pressure. It only does this when the deck is energised?
