I cleaned up the budget Otari MX5050BQII I drug home, and set about to run a basic series of test. Didn't take me long to encounter a problem.
Play works - stop works - back to play - record seems to work, but...
If I push FF, it just stays running at high speed, and the only way I can figure out to stop it, is to turn the unit off.
Same thing: hit RW, and it will rewind as long as I hold that button down, but if I let it up, it drops into FF - and sticks...
My brain tells me there might be some sort of sticking relay in there somewhere?
Any ideas?? (maybe I'm doing something simple like threading the tape wrong, but it seems pretty straight forward)
