Hey! I (very excitedly) just got an AT RMX64 off of ebay in very good cosmetic shape for very little money. I just got it today and popped a tape in, and the motor has some trouble turning the tape. No weird noises or anything, it just seems... sticky, like maybe something needs to be cleaned. If i press any transport button, it seems to start turning, but the reel(?) on the right doesn't really want to turn, or slows down and gets "sticky" very quickly, then stops automatically. if I hold in on the play button, it spins for a bit (counts up to 10ish) and then gets sticky and stops.
I'm really guessing I just need to lubricate something inside. How do I get there? I bought this machine because I heard they are very easy to service. I'm not an electrical engineer by any means, but I can get around OK with a screw driver and soldering iron. Help me get started!
