Hi, I am trying to get my old Tascam 244 working. Have replaced the belts and idler tires and luckily found a pinch roller off a teac cassette deck that is a perfect match. I will put that in soon.
However, I seem to also have a problem with the 244 Transport control buttons. The stop button doesn't work and the play button is very intermittent. I wonder if anyone can suggest how to rejuvenate them. I am hoping that maybe contact cleaner spray or something might work but haven't tried anything as yet as I don't want to make them worse, although nothing to loose in the stop button!
Here's a photo so you know what buttons I am talking about.
