    Tascam M520 question. Hello from Spain!

    That's a bummer about P.E. but the link still shows the 8V unit. The 12V will work but will not burn as bright. Littelfuse has a part that will do. I had found it as a back-up source when I was originally looking for them. It is their P/N 070-275. It's 8V 100 Ma, and I'll bet it's the item...

    TASCAM 22-4 Rewind and Fast-forward Not Working Properly

    This is great news, but if you have a wobbly reel table you might have a bad motor bearing! Check the two screws (I believe 2.5 mm) on the brass base of the reel table. The cover must be off to get to them but I assume you have that off now. If those are tight and it wobbles I have a spare...

    I wish I knew you needed belts. I have a source that will supply both belts for less than what you'll pay for just the drive belt from Tascam!

    TASCAM 22-4 Rewind and Fast-forward Not Working Properly

    A few possibilities: a) the solenoid control circuit might be bad. Here's something else to try. With tape from reel to reel (not across heads) hold up L & R tensioners and hit FF button simultaneously. If if FF's OK, then you know the brakes are releasing. b) there may be a fuse controlling...

    Time to recap it's power supply then!!! Maybe then check your new circuit with a digital volt meter to make sure it's a steady 115V-117V
