Tape Tech / Otari MX5050 Pinch Roller Problem...Help please!
« on: January 16, 2010, 01:23:12 PM »
Good afternoon all...New member needs help!
I am the president of a non-profit youth music organization in Boston. Our programming is centered in music recording technology.
Recently an Otari MX5050 was donated. Seemingly great condition from a reliable source. Everything is in order except...the pinch roller. It is completely frozen. It's possible to manipulate it by hand by it is way too difficult to be normal. I'm convinced it must be the pinch roller solenoid or the linkage. My vice-president, Susan Rogers, is/was a maintenance tech in the hay-day but she's not up to date with good service centers/parts pricing in 2010. Can someone offer some advice? She has more than enough experience to repair the machine if someone here can help us fully diagnose the issue and suggest a vendor for necessary parts.
Thanks guys!
