Tascam 244 playback issue

I've been using a Tascam 244 for several years now. Never had any issues I haven't been able to fix. Sounds great. Lately though, I've been having a strange (not terrible, but frustrating) problem. I will have multiple recorded tracks, and when I go back to listen to them, one of the tracks doesn't play. If I simply turn the machine off and back on, everything is fine. It has begun doing this very regularly on playback - to the point that I've started automatically turning it on and off before listening to playbacks. Never effects recording, and no other problems. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.
 
That kind of solution is aggravating a bad cap to work again but that will not work long term. Find the bad one or change all the electrolytics in that circuit. I have seen decks have return of function when electrolytic caps are aggravated as I call it but they will go out altogether at a later point.
