Hello all
First post here – i'm very happy to find a group so dedicated to the my same interests.
Question:
Recently in the middle of a session with my Tascam 38, we noticed that the machine was suddenly playing/recording at an inconsistent speed.
Meaning, when we repro'd back what we had just done, the pitch wavered up and down. Also, the pull knob for playback pitch control stopped working as well, doing nothing.
Ive popped it open and the belt seems just fine.
Im wondering if it might be the capstan motor – some sort of wear that is causing it to turn without a consistent speed?
Many thanks in advance!
