So I recently bought a 246 in excellent conditions . Worked for 3 days and suddenly started with extreme wow and fluttter. I assumed it was because I was using 100 min tapes that didn’t hold up well but soon the play button no longer worked and the play/rec would attempt to engage and detatched . I read this is often caused by the capstan belt falling off . I just want to know what precautions to take when opening the machine and if I should just consider sending it off somewhere . I know it’s similar to the 244 which I saw a video for but I also heard these are more difficult to get into so I just want to know all I can before I do this
