Heya,
I bought this deck over theweekend at a yard sale. I know it's not the best Sony deck, but I like it, it's compact and light.
I have had a couple broken stereo decks for short periods of the time in past but have never had one to use and I have never tried to replair one. I am fairly good at fixing some 8-track deck issues.
The issue seems to be common for reel to reel decks. The pinch roller does not come up to meet the capstn on its own. You can pull and push it up, but it does not go up easily when I push it up, it also doesn't meet the capstan very tightly. The reels spin and the capstn spins. Not sure if these use belts or gers or what to engage the pinch roller. I definately need help with this.
It also occasionally has LOUD hum/feedback in one of the channels ( I have an 8-track recorder that does this occasionlly too, and I'm not sure wht causes it).
