Hi, long time since my last visit.
I have a Grundig tk 23 L. It's nothing to write home about but it works and I have a couple of tapes on it. I have recorded them with the akai 4000 ds which has not given me any problem at 3 3/4 but when I play them on the Grundig they sound very fast, like twice the speed. The belts look good but before I started changing them I wanted to know if there is a way to adjust the speed.
I have it set to 240 v and I changed two capacitors that were bad and I also cleaned and greased it. Fast forward and reverse go perfectly.

Thanks in advance, Ubaldo
