388 Wacky Servo Problem?

Hey Guys, My 388 is very lightly used and is in excellent condition, however...Sometimes I'll turn in on to mess with it and the servo seems out of adjustment.I played some tapes on it the other day and it was fine. Now, last night and this morning, it does this....... I'll press play and it'll play for a second, click, stop. Press ffwd, starts to for a sec, click stop. Rwd, same deal. Does anyone know what this could be? Is there anyway to "reset" the servos? I thought turning it off and back on would help. No luck. Maybe it has something to do with the tape tension? I just have no idea. Thanks.

Ok, I think I figured it out.

After doing some extensive research on the net and sifting through older posts. I believe I figured it out. Much of what I read claimed fuses could be the problem, however, none of my fuses "looked" bad. I just went to Radio Shack and bought all new fuses and replaced them anyway. Turns out, that what it was. :Works fine now. :D
