Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Re: Otari MX5050 Problem --- Right reel not turning

Hi,

Thanks for the info.. It was just a stupid mistake on my side. The Edit button was pressed which prevented the right hub from turning.

Now I cannot get any output from this thing. Looks like someone has connected a 4 pin cable directly to the heads..

Thanks,

Chris

Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Otari MX5050 Problem --- Right reel not turning

« on: August 09, 2014, 12:16:04 PM »

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post... I picked up a Otari MX5050 today in pretty nice shape. The problem is that the right reel does not turn in Play mode or fast forward (or at all). I can manually turn it. I have manually disengaged the brake and it still does not turn.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
