Hey guys,
So I have an ill 388 here. On play, it's not holding it's pitch and is playing almost half speed. Though it sounds hillarous, I'd love to try and fix her up
Here's a quick video: (apoligies for the short clip, not much room on my phone)

That track should be about twice as fast... At time's it seems like it's going to slow all the way to a stop but doesn't. I've switeched through the various speed modes and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Also it seems like the pitch control is having minimal effect to help the situation.
I figured someone here might have some knowledge to point me in the right direction towards trouble shooting.
So far I've just tried basic stuff. IE clean the tape path, tried a different reel of tape. I just put a new capstan belt on it, new reel tables and had it serviced less than a year ago. (though the tech took almost 6 months to get it back to me, so I'm hoping I can DIY the problem.)
Anyway, any pointers as to what I should check out first?
Thanks!
