Hi Dave.
Well that's something to go on, thanks.
Yes I have the schamatics. A service manual.
Your not to far away.
It would depend on how much you wanted for the machine, and maybe the individual items you mentioned, on wether it would be worth the trip.

Hello TimOD.
In answer to your question.
I record and play music, instruments, and Write songs etc 'Or try to' .
I have computer software and digital harware to record on, but wanted to explore the older ways band's used to record, I thought it would be fun and interesting.
I know these...
Hi Dave.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Voltage dropping, would that point to a capacitor, or could it be multiple things?
If you're thinking of selling your Teac let me know. I may be interested?
Thanks again.
James.
Hi.
Yes I've degunked the head's. Didn't make any difference.
I've since freed the capstan arm, which was very stiff.
Run the motors without tape and they seem okay.
Run smaller reels through, and forward and reverse seems fine.
Could be the 10.5 tape I was using?
But the play still isn't...
Hello all.
Newbie here.
Just purchased a Teac A3440.
And guess what? it doesn't work.
Well it has issues with wanting to work. Mind you it is 40 + years old.
So can anyone help please.
I've just replaced the capstan belt and the motor and flywheel work okay.
Issues are ..1.capstan solenoid...
