I've got a Tascam 688, and it was working for a while, then stopped working when I opened it up to see if I could fix a minor problem. Occasionally the machine would just stop the tape, and I would have to hit play and let it stop a few times then it would work again. After looking inside it (and having little knowledge of this sort of thing), I closed it back up and began using it again. The motors were running fine, but no sound came from the unit or was displayed on the lightbars. I neglected the machine for a few months and haven't looked at it until today. Upon further analysis, I've found that it plays some cassettes, but not others. And even worse, it tears some of them. Snaps the tape right in half. The ones that play, they play without tearing. But the ones that don't play are the ones that get torn. But, right before they tear, they play sound for a split second and the lightbars light up like they normally would when playing a cassette
