Hi
Just did the line in mod to my Panasonic RX DT680. At same time I cleaned the reed switches in the cassette bays, and replaced the gears that fail. Funny part my gears were fine, but changed to hopefully fix tape play issue.
The record/playback deck will play and fast forward in both forward and reverse directions.
The playback deck issue still persists! It will play and fast forward in forward direction (to the right). But it will fast forward in the reverse direction, sometimes plays in the reverse direction and sometimes stalls and bunches tape up.
Any ideas? I suspect belts slipping? But not sure about how belt go on. Do you split the deck open, but it seems circuit board must be move but motors stay intact. There is two connectors on the board with white caps that come off, but I do not see how the wires release....not a normal ribbon wire.
I am stumped and put it together for now, but figure belts
Any ideas and steps to put belts on this machine.
Thanks
