I Bleed Analog!
My trusty (and very high mileage) Pioneer RT-707 has begun to act up badly, and while I am fortunate enough to have a spare, I would like to have this unit working as well. The symptoms are slow playback in the forward direction (the unit is 1/4" 1/4 track with auto-reverse) and most annoyingly the tape slips on the capstan when you first thread the tape, and specifically slips toward the face of the unit on the leader tape and twists up. The pinch roller has some wear, but swapping it to the spare deck none of the same problems occur. COuld this be a pinch roller tension issue? I do have the service manual available.
