Hey all,
First time posting here. Picked up a Tascam 388 this week. Did a lot of research on common issues and restoration. I haven't seen anyone having the same problem as me.
The capstan belt has been replaced and I have fresh RMG LPR35 tape loaded on it.
The transport seems to work fine. The play button, stop button, and fast forward button function properly. The tensioner functions properly. However, the rewind and record buttons do not do anything when pressed. I took apart the control panel and tried to blow it out and reassembled it and it did not fix the problem. The rest of the control panel seems to work fine and light up. I replaced the fuses with brand new 250v 4 and 3 amp fuses (to spec).
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
