    Roger when you say "Play" motor do you mean the capstan drive motor or the play take up reel motor? Anyhow if it helps below are a couple screenshots of the schematics. These came from ElektroTanya | Service manuals and repair tips for electronics experts where you can get the operations/service manual and schematics.

    Is this just checking it out moving the guides with no tape spooled? I don't have access to mine right now, but I recall on my Otari, the motors run counter to one another to provide tension.

    It's tough at the top.......

    ......but it's worse at the bottom !
    Doing nothing in particular.......but doing it very well .

    The motor direction will reverse if it has been re-assembled with the 'magnet cylinder' reversed. Swap the red and white wires over and all will be OK.
