Hello my Analog Friends.
I have been playing with my MSR-16. I thoroughly cleaned the heads, rollers, and guides with Rubbing Alcohol. When I record perhaps 30 seconds of material, rewind and then playback, the tape is already sticking to the Play Head and starting to squeak a little. I can listen to the recording several times and rewind before it slows down or sticks to the point of stopping completely. The thing is. I don't see any noticeable buildup. Can tape really become sticky this fast, or can something else be causing it to stick to the Play Head.
Frustrated, but having fun in Detroit.
