Hi Sweetbeats and all ya'll.

I finally found my Teac A3340 for a fair price at an estate sale. Over all good shape, but been sitting for 20-30 years.

Is there a thread or a YouTube link to a step-by-step overhaul (i.e. where to degrease/lube) to get the capstan and pinch roller back up to snuff and where to deoxit everything?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you do much for this!! I dug out my teac and noticing the left reel sounds the wrong way. Ideas? Suggestions?

If you mean that the left reel is rotating the wrong way, it will do that if you start it while there's no tape on the machine. This is to provide tension during playback and fast-forward. If you do have tape loaded and it is still doing this (and spilling tape), there may be an actual problem.
If you meant something else, we'll need a clearer explanation :3
 
The best way to get information about how to restore these decks is to contact a person who has been doing it for over 40 years and who has worked at the Teac Factory Service. Thus send me E mail and I will help you.
