Re: Advice concerning Philips N4414 reel to reel machine
As James has said, check that the pinch roller is making contact with the capstan shaft, it must be moving up to it otherwise you wouldn't hear anything.
Check the capstan belt, if its loose, change it, they can cause all sorts of weird and wonderful problems.
Check the speed of the capstan, this should be running all the time the machine is switched on, does it speed up or down when you change speed? You will have to remove the top covers to see it properly.
If yes, then we'll have to do more tests
If no then you've got a fault with the capstan servo.
