Hi again good people. In trying to get my 688 working again, i replaced the capstan belt last night, without too much difficulty, thanks to good instructions on here from heatmiser on this forum. Now it plays, FFW, Pause, Stop, but won't rewind. When I had it apart, I did think there was an odd looking bit of black plastic on the side of a motor, which may have been a melted wire ? Do these machines have separate motors for FFW and Rewind? I will take it apart once again, but not sure what I am looking at really. I am almost positive that rewind and fast forward did work before I replaced the belt ( The machine would not play, due to broken belt,), but all other functions seemed OK . Seems very weird, as I was very careful when doing this work, without disturbing any connections. Any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks .
