Hi, new here!
I bought a Tascam 246 on eBay, it arrived yesterday. Seemed to be good condition, and despite a loud-ish hum whenever I inserted a tape into the deck, everything seemed to be working fine. Recording, playing, all sorts. Then today I was messing with the pitch control while recording, and suddenly it stopped recording. Now, whenever I press play or record, the pinch roller comes up for a few seconds, then goes back down again. It just refuses to play. It FFs and rewinds just fine.
Does anyone know what might be up? Will this be a difficult fix? I'm completely new with tapes so I'm hoping it's nothing too difficult...
Cheers!
