Hey everyone,
After wanting one a long time and finding one cheaper than I've ever seen before I hastily bought a Yamaha MT4X for 70$. The seller said it had been just been sitting around for a long time, and the only issue with it was that when he tried to play a tape on it recently the sound was deeply muffled.
Now I only have minor experience with tapes but from my experience it sounds like it just has dirty/magnetized heads or a slight alignment issue. My question is though does anyone think there could potentially be a more major/unfixable problem at hand?
I'd hate to think i'm really ending up with something that can't be fixed, but even if that turns out to be the case it won't be a total loss. Anyway I'd really appreciate any insight and reply.
