It appears either that the belt is too slack to turn the cam reliably when attempting to auto reverse, or that the cam hangs up halfway when moving the cog from the take up reel in fwd to the reel for reverse play. Also, the switch that controls which tracks pick up the signal seems to get stuck sometimes too, playing both tracks at once....
Should I be thinking about replacing the belts (or using a rubber restorative for the short term), or should I be oiling the camshafts and such and leaving the belts alone? FF and REV work fine and so does play direction once the cam has fully engaged (although even when the reels are engaged and operational, sometimes both tracks are still picking up signal.)
