Hi all. I've recently bought a new halftrack, an Otari MTR 10. The guy I bought it from was using it regularly until he purchased an Ampex deck, and is a good guy that I've bought from before, I know he didn't hose me. I bought it, brought it straight home carefully, and upon playback, it did this:

I tried adjusting the Supply & Take Up reel tensions but that didn't seem to do the trick. I suspect it's the tension arm that needs evaluation but I can't find anything in the manual that refers to a tension arm.
If anyone has any advice I'd love to pick through some knowledge, I have a session I need to use it for by March 2.
Thanks for any info you can pass along!
