Thanks again, sweetbeats! Sorry, I didn't mean a store, I meant any place online where you can get replacement parts. I thought maybe you or someone knew of a place you buy from specifically. *** And please don't pay any attention to my asking about "online stores" in my MT8X thread. *** I...

No, I can't hear the motor. The capstan and the pinch roller are not spinning. Great, do you mean the motor may need to be replaced??? 😥 I'll be opening it up after I open and check out my MT120 which is not getting any sound with the switch in the "Stereo" position, but gets some very faint...

Thanks again. I guess you didn't see my update. Now the capstan is no longer spinning and the unit doesn't play tapes at all anymore. I press "Play" and nothing. :cry:

Thank you. I will replace all the rubber parts. Is there a store you know of besides eBay? And what kind and brand of lubricant do you use? I figure I'm here to learn from the best, so I might as well ask. :) I'll keep looking around for all the parts and I will definitely do everything you...

Hi all, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. If not, my apologies! I'm brand new here. I guess the title says it all. I pop my tape in and as it's playing the pitch gets lower and lower. Never faster, just lower. [My MT8X is the opposite and only plays faster, but I may make a...

Hi all, I own several Yamaha MT120 4-Tracks, a Yamaha MT4X and a Yamaha MT8X 8-Track. I could swear I have a Tascam at my parents house too. Lol But, I'm in desperate need of help fixing them. I'm trying to digitize all my old recordings from over the years; my demos, live shows and...
