I just received a 424 mkIII sent from eBay, supposed to be fully operational. When it I turn it on, however, the loading animation plays continuously, and the tape mechanism clicks and keeps clicking repeatedly. I don't know what exactly should happen upon powering on as far as the tape transport mechanism goes, but I've watched youtube videos of people powering on this unit and I know the loading screen should go away very quickly.
I'm concerned because it seems that other units with tape transport problems still power up completely. Mine does not. Any suggestions?
Thanks
