Help!!!
I took my left reel motor out to clean the brushes/communicator, and put it back in. Now the transport is doing all kinds of strange things like FF when I push PLAY, and no REW at all. Also the STOP button only works if I push FF or REW, not after pushing play. In fact, when I push STOP after PLAY, both reels start up together and go faster. It's completely bizarre because the machine was working perfectly before the motor was removed and prior. Now it wont even REW and none of the functions correlate with the buttons. I'm absolutely stumped as to what could be wrong. The only thing I disconnected was the motor wires which I soldered back exactly as they were. Although the machine was off, could I have blown some sort of chip? Or maybe one of the transistors that are screwed to the cooling fins? I really appreciate any help out there...
