Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Try some switch cleaner...

... on any connectors for the transport control buttons. It may also be possible to squirt a little contact cleaner directly into the switch for the button. I suppose it might be a PCB crack as well, and those can be a pain to sort.

The number of problems which boil down to intermittent connections within connectors is amazing - I've given up counting how many bits of hi-fi have cooperated fully after a quick go with some switch cleaner.

Cheers, Jon.
