I have rotated my Teac A-6300 back into use and find that the capstan solenoid has become a bit lazy. What I mean is when i engage play, the brake solenoids release sharply but the capstan solenoid( in the same circuit loop) does sort of a "stutter click" when engaging and rather than sharply indexing the pinch roller over is a bit slow.
In the auto revere mode, it sometimes does not activate at all....no activity from the solenoid. But it is not consistent. I have cleaned and gently lubed the solenoid plunger, and its travel is free. I can manually move the linkage with no binding.
I do not believe the solenoid itself is at fault. There is a diode across the coil and a capacitor in there on some other terminals. Why so many wires to this unit?
Anybody (Cory?) have any idea/suggestions on what to look for? Polling all you smart people before i jack up a beautiful machine by poking around......
