I'm back. I finally found time to digitize some old Arabic obscure rare cassettes I always wanted to. Everything was running fine when suddenly after about 20 tapes the mechanism started chewing tapes (tape collected at the back of the pinch roller & stops).
First transport issues (when I got the mixer) had been sorted by replacing the old worn idler tire with a new chinese AliExpress one back then. Could maybe the issue be this again knowing their low quality?
Will replace with another one when go home later. But I don't think it's the culprit this time.
Meanwhile, @sweetbeats or anyone else, any thoughts on what I should look for in this particular deck when dealing with chewing tapes issue?
