Hi
A year ago I turned on my trusty 246 and it chewed tape - so waited for some spare time to do a repair.
Last week, turned on my trusty 246 - pressed play and unpleasant mechanical sound!
So, opened it up and have now replaced control and capstan belt and pinch roller.
But play wont work (or rec), when I hit play it seems dead i.e. the heads dont move up and no rotation etc
Pause causes the heads to move up into position - but not much point in pause when you cant play.
FF and Rewind OK.
The belts are still on.
Any ideas why my 246 wont move the heads up and play?
Thanks in advance.
Greg
