Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Motors and Gears and Levers and Springs OH MY!

Suggest you look at the back side of the take-up capstan pinch roller assemby and compare it to the other assembly, both are the same and you might be missing or have a broken part. I have worked on several 480s and I hate this transport. This is the curse of front loading vertical decks, TOO MANY FREAKING PARTS! As the electrical performance increased the reliability of the the transports decreased. Impractical if not impossible to repair, too many plastic parts. 600s RULE!
