Hello!Got a Beocenter 4000 project for free and trying to restore it.My current issue is that everything seems to spin correctly except the pinch roller wont connect to the tape.When playing the tape is spinning at full speed = same speed as Fast Forward but the pinch roller is not connected / stands still during play.When playing a tape the pinch roller and pickup gets pushed up but not far enough, also doesn't 100% all the time return to correct position when stopped.Here's a video trying to demonstrate that:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90j5_Ey0PlQAnyone got any ideas on solutions here? I can push the plate manually so the pinch rollers engage, and manually at the solenoid hinges, but they dont seem to push hard enough by themselfs.
