Question:

New (old) Aiwa AD-F850 tape deck jams

by Guest14650432 | 2 years, 5 month(s) ago

I dug out a tape deck that I had bought nearly 20 years ago. I actually never used it, but bought it with a whole bunch of brand new songwriter equipment I was planning on using but didn't. I have decided I can use it now and find the tape doesn't go into the drawer. It's a beautiful machine and has some kind of cassette stabilizer thing in the cassette compartment, but even once I get it closed, the tape doesn't run smoothly. Yeah, it's old, but was kept wrapped in plastic and should work like new. Thanks.

Hi, it sounds like you have a belt that has stretched or broken as these decks are power driven and what your hearing is most likley the head switching from a to b for play but its not able to complete its programed transfer due to a mechanical failure it should be looked at and properly cleaned and belts changed and you should be back in buisness hope this helps
