Hi
I have a Teac A-3440 and I have been using it the last two years in my studio. Everything worked fine. I did not use it for about 4 months though and wanted to play back a new reel I bought on a flea-market. But it didn't. It would rewind and fast forward perfectly fine but when I pressed play, it jumped into position but did not spin. I looked into your forum and found a couple of threads. But here is why my case is different (I think). It plays back just fine if the take up reel does not carry any tape. I just wonder why all of a sudden the take up reel is not strong enough to pull the tape?
Could that be the case?
Thanks for your help.
Best, David
