Martin
hi dave just seplayed the belts
hi martin tape loaded yes capstan turning no
If you rotate the motor by hand (unpowered), does the flywheels rotate in opposite directions ?
hi martin yes both flywheeis rotate in opposite directions
hi martin im wrong again when I turn the motor by hand no both fly wheeis do not turns sounds like a new motor ?
A little punctuation would have made that last sentence of yours a much easier read, particularly for anon-native english person.And what does "no both fly wheeis do not turns" mean ?When you rotate the motor pulley by hand, the two flywheels should rotate in opposite directions.If they dont, you haven't got the belt on correctly.If you cannot rotate the motor pulley by hand, the motor has seized.
Does the motor rotate when powered on ?All connectors and plugs correctly seated ?
hi martin I would like to thank you plus other members my 9500 is up and running after renewing the tape belts shaun
