Repair summary |
PINCH ROLLER HEAVILY DIRTY |
Full repair description and observations |
|
|
|
1 |
As deck B was compared
with deck A (which worked fine), no faulty mechanism was noted. |
|
|
2 |
The mechanism was
serviced with the Contact Cleaner spray, and the pinch roller was cleaned up
with 100% isopropyl alcohol. It was evident that the pinch roller was heavily
dirty. |
|
|
3 |
After few minutes, the
equipment was tested and playback resumed correctly, and so did the
recording. |
