You welcome for the help, do a cleaning again, otherwise next step is going inside the bottom and pull out boards.

Where to Start?
Since I am a newbie, I can't start a new thread so I will have to post my TEAC question here. Anyway, I have two A3440 (no "S"), one is supposed to be a parts unit for the other however, I also have a A3300 that I can use as a parts unit IF motors, etc., will interchange. Where do I get belt kits. pinch rollers, and what is the best way to clean pots and circuit boards, and since one of the the 3440s has a broken reel retainer on the motor, can I use a motor from the 3300?
I live in Southern California not too far from San Bernardino. Does anyone here know of a place that I could get parts locally?
Thank you all for your patience.

hey Rolf...i'm back...sorry i got sidetracked for a couple months.
i found a working little akai 4400 at auction for $5 the other day...i may need some advice repairing the power switch on it though.
i've got an off topic question...i've been using headphones since i got the reel to reel and i need to get speakers and a receiver. i'm looking for something decent bargain priced vintage stuff...could you recommend any? are there any lower end fishers, marantz, etc that you think are decent for under $100.

No problem, I had a feeling you were busy.
Check the local Craig's list of thrift store for a decent amp /reciever and speakers.
Sometimes you get lucky
About the Akai 4400, doesn't it have a shut-off switch built in ?
