Thanks, Maarten. Have checked again all mechanical switches and interlocks and still cannot see anything which I have inadvertently reassembled incorrectly, but if it’s an electronic problem, would that be allowing the tape drive to run at full speed from the moment of switch on?

The one thing noticed now at switch on (since reassembly) is that there is no hunting of the servo at all, so does that point to electronic problem/s?

It’s a [rude word] pain, but don’t have the heart to do anything drastic with it.
