Any idea why one belt mechs(used in later models like center9000...) stops winding? I have couple of them and cant find what is wrong with them?
blah-blah and photographs as needed
What are the exact symptoms (No reaction / Slipping belt / Starts but stops again after 2 seconds or ...) ?
Martin
well it tries to wind but it is like motor doesnt get enough power, so it stops. Belt is ok, no slipping, everything is cleaned, lubricated and moves freely... I haven't measure voltage or current consumption of motor yet. I dont think that it can be on electronics because another mech is (in one past case) ok with it.
reaches about 4V@60mA, a little unaccurate because I have only one analog (fast) meter...
with 9V battery motor runs nicely... hal?
Have you lubricated the tape drive spindles??
Regards Graham
yup, whole machine
Hal's were ok, but it looks like capstain rolls do not let loose one bit when winding is pressed.
They should, shouldn't they??
Yep, just checked one functioning mechanics, it do loose roll when winding.
These two dont. Why? Microswithc somewhere?
Put fiúnctioning mech in center. And yes windings were ok.
Sequence is following: play headbridge moves fully in, press wind, heads move out and halfway in, winding.
Now, these other two does not move one bit when pressing wind. What is matter with them????? Play is ok.
Altouhg it is purely mechancal? No logic or so to go wrong?
