Hello!
I recently got this reel to reel player from a family friend, despite having no experience with reel to reel or audio recording in general. I got a tape running through it, but the machine seems to have a few issues. First, it seems to be playing the recordings fast. I switched it to a slower speed to check if that was the issue with it, but then it was obviously too slow. In my experience with cassette machines like Walkmans, there is usually a little screw to adjust the speed; is there one of those for this machine? Also, sometimes when I turn it on it sounds like its taking a while to get up to speed, is that norma? The second issue is that it won't rewind or fast forward for more then a second before the motor seems to give out; it just stops in its tracks.
I'd really love to get this fixed so that I am able to listen to some of the recordings that were sent with it!
Thanks so much,
Jon
