Tapes play but as either reels fills the playing slows down. There is a motor on each reel and a larger motor physically mounted between them. There are three wires (red, green, yellow) coming out of the middle motor case. Looks like there was a capactor (that is no longer there) wired into this motor circuit. I am guessing the original capacitor failed and someone tried to replace it with a combination of individual capacitors that is there now.
Do you think the capacitor has something to do with the player slowing down when reaching either end of the tape? Does this affect the torque? Any idea what the replacement capacitor should be? Any other related thoughts?
Thanks
