I just bought a pretty nice JVC PC-30, it's missing one volume knob and it has a little quirk.
Regarding the missing knob - how do you solve such a problem? I have removed the remaining knob from the slider because it was hard to operate both volumes simultaneously. I'm thinking about looking for a pair of different fitting knobs.
Regarding the quirk, the symptoms are - in reverse play, auto stop or auto reverse doesn't work, it just tries to spin the left spindle. Auto stop in rew doesn't work too.
When I'm in reverse play and press stop, the reverse switches to forward play (meaning when I press play again it starts playing forward instead of continuing in reverse play).
The left spindle seems to have less torque than the right spindle.
The original owner told me, that all rubber parts are new - belts, pinch rollers, idler tires.
What could be the problem?
