Hello! This is Nacho from Spain!
Im a new member of this forum....sorry, my english is no good...
I got problems with a Fostex 80 Model (not a r-8 but very similar i think!).
The reel of the right side does not work...the left side reel seems to be
correct, the capstan rolls ok and all the functions of the device seems to be
ok, the tape is ok...yes, i can hear the motor sound...
But if i push play button, the tape starts to roll, but the reel of the right
does not work and the machine stops...the tape loses the tension needed...
The same happens when i push rwind. or ffw.
i need your help...im not a tecnician...only an amateur...is possile to repair
this machine??
Seems to be a little problem in my opinion, but I do not know how to do this!
I hope your help!
Thanks a lot and best regards from Spain!

Hello again from Spain!
Problems..i think!!
I check the Fostex 80 again to see the functions of the two reels motors, belts, capstan and pich roller.
The capstan motor runs ok...and when i push play the pinch roller works properly....the tape runs, but at this point loses tension and the machine stops.
The two reels motors not run. When i push play, rewind or ffww the brakes come out properly and let the reels move, but the two motor wheels dont move (the belts seem to be OK)...
Theres will be a electric problem???
A fuse or something??
I need your help, please!
Thanks and best regards from Spain!
Nacho
