Can anyone help with this, the cassette deck does not work on my m90, no sound from motor, no mechanical sound from anything. There is a clunking sound for 2 seconds everytime you switch on the power switch but nothing more.

it seems to me the deck is ok (i could be wrong) but done this many times, when you first turn on the m90 you get a clunk, this is a deck check and done by the main motor that drives the main capstan, this tells me the main motor should be ok. anyway dude if you go on to the main tech section you will find everything you need to know about the m90, good luck

here we go :-)

hi yes its your tape belts need to be replaced another way to check is put a tape in the deck when it is turned on then power it off with the tape inside if it does now click your tape belts are bad the m90 does a reverse function. with tape in... so when a tape is in and you turn power on it will not cllunk. but it does when you turn it off easy fix.............good luck
