I got a tascam 38 for cheap.
I got a new idler from terry.
The 3rd channel VU was not working. I replaced that. and the take up reel needed to be adjusted.
I replaced the 3rd channel vu, powered it on and it was fine.
but the take up reel adjustment height was wrong.
I opened it up again, and adjusted the take up reel height.
when i powered it on again,
the 3rd channel vu didnt work, and and take up reel isnt spinning at all.
the FF and RW isnt working now. Capstan seems fine.
What the best step to take forwards?
