Re: Akai 1710
It would be an idea to do a few basics such as clean the tape path particularly the capstan and pinch wheel, internally check the drive belt and lubricate the whole deck mechanism. The problem could be related to take up and back tension being wrong. If you go over the whole deck like that you may cure the problem but even if not, at least you have a solid starting point

Re: Akai 1710
Also check the motor has enough torque to run steadily, suspect the run cap if not
