08 Jan 02 - 07:22 PM (#623762) Subject: Tape Recorder Problem From: Bobert I purchased a Teak A-2340 4 Channel Sync Reel to Reel Recorder from ebay. It arrived yesterday and worker perfectly playing back some old tapes I have for 3 hours and then it crapped out. What it is doing is this. When I put it on "play", the reels start turning very slowly and then build up speed and end up turning like they are in fast forward. Anyone have any ideas? |

But he did tell me to say "Hey" to you if I ran into you over here in the big city so, "Hey, Clet." Now, who around here is the wizard on old equipment? |

(either in or out)also the reel "size" control. My machine works on 15 inches per second and 7 inches per second. I'll give mine a going over tomorrow and see if I can figure out what's wrong with yours. Don't lose heart, it is a VERY good machine, and If I can't figure out a solution, put it in the shop, it will be very much worth the expense. I have the entire operation and repair manual, I'll copy it and send you a copy. Send me a PM with your mailing adress and I'll forward it to you. Jody Gibson |
