Default Re: Grundig TK245 overhaul

I think you'll need to ascertain whether the reel is slipping against the lower white surface, or the white pulley is itself slipping as the belt's loose. Easier said than done, though!
I would doubt that a digital meter would pass enough current to magnetise the head, but an AVO 8 probably would. Like others, I have had Bogen heads fail for no obvious reason, and I have a nice Grundig TK141 that has an O/C on one head track. Annoying as it's a good machine otherwise.
I like Grundigs of this era, but find the earlier machines unpleasant to work on.
