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.

 

 

 

Precautions, fouls and advises

 

1

Always take care of how the parts were assembled so that when put things back together, it won’t be a difficult task. Preferably note/draw how the removed parts were
