been using an MSR-16 (sparingly) for 5 years now. it's always been reliable til this week. here's the problem:
I was listening to a playback, and all the sudden the machine stopped. I mean it still has power, it FF's and rewinds. everything seems fine, but it just won't play. when I push play, it kinda clicks into gear and starts for a split second, but then it stops. I've gotten it to start back up 3 or 4 times - once by randomly moving the 'tension arm' (the roller thing on the far left) and the other times by wiggling the hub on the take-up reel (the reel on the right).
for example, last time I got it rolling, I was wiggling the hub left and right just a bit (while the machine was on play) and all the sudden the machine took off and started playing normally. then just a few minutes later is stopped playing again. right now I am not able to get it playing at all.
I tried switching to another tape but I'm still having the same problem. this is very frustrating. like I said, all other functions on the machine are working perfectly fine.
please help! my bands recording project is now on hold til I figure out what's going on.
