A77 weak motors
I've got another A77 here which is kind of perplexing me. The run/start caps are new, new bearings. The motors are really weak especially in REW. They are a bit peculiar in that they don't have the correct wiring colours. They have yellow, green, grey and black. So I don't really know if they are even wired correctly. Anyone come across these?

Re: A77 weak motors
Dodgy tape can effect REW speeds as you probably know, some decks are especially sensitive.
Not come across your issue. Andy.
