General Discussion / Slow rewind or fast forward
« on: August 06, 2015, 10:30:36 PM »
New to all of this. New Otari MX 5050 Bll2. Plays prerecorded vintage tapes well. Plays prerecorded 4track and my experiment 2track recordings well. I bought some large reels that were loaded with tape and they will not rewind or fast forward as it does otherwise. I took the tape and bypassed the transport and went direct reel to reel and it flies!
I get a little sound when I rewind smaller reels off the tape. I suspect the que lifter thing is not fully lifting. I have not cleaned the transport area since getting the deck. I have played several hours of tape no problem without being full 10 inch reels.
Will getting the mod kit help? What can be the issue.
PS. Oh my goodness. I love this whole thing.
Live in Seattle area FYI
