Hi all,
I have a Revox B77 that is struggling to FF. This doesn't seem to happen straight off the bat, but after the machine has been on for a while. Firther investigation has revieled that insead of going into FF mode, it goes into play mode but without the pinch roller being engaged. To clarify, when in play mode, the reels will move in oposite directions, ie. right reel Anti-clockwise, left reel clockwise, and the and the pinch roller pulls the tape in the correct direction.
Also when the machine is left on for a while the reels will start to spin on their own???
Does anyone have any expeirience with this problem??
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what may be causing the problem??
My electronic knowlage in limited to being able to replace components and testing caps and transistors (when not in connected)
I have schematics to use as reference, and I'm VERY skint so a proffesional tech is not an option at the mo.
Thanks in advance
