Default Revox B215 cassette deck.

This machine has come in because after a few minutes of playing, it stops. The fault is with the take up motor/spool.

Has anyone got experience of this?

I understood there may have been a modification kit to fix this fault, does anyone know anything about it?

There is a site:

The site owner is dealing in depth with the restoration of a Revox B215, very interesting indeed!

Read through, it may help you a lot.

No experience with this or the Studer. I've had direct drive DC reel motors go weak/intermittent due to lack of use and subsequent tarnishing of the commutator, if these motors are that type. Also a vague recollection of reading of motor magnets becoming weakened after demagnetizing the tape path.
