Sony TC-8 Question
I have an old Sony TC-8 player/recorder that has been in the closet for
years. When I tried it today, it played the tape very slowly; could this be a belt problem? There is also akind of 'jingling' sound then playing, maybe the fan hitting something? The main question I have is how do you open this thing? |

Sony TC-8 Question
actually it's a upright standing deck, with a large AC motor, good
design- plays the tape vertically, it goes in straight down- so no tape dragging usually, as the tape is on top of the capstan I have one, the transport is fine, but channels are shot- bad pots great for making an adjustable head machine- the tape adjustment screw is facing horizontally outward- drill a hole, bingo, adjust the head while running from outside |

Sony TC-8 Question
The jingle is the belt riding up on the fan-like piece that rotates when the unit starts up. I'll try a new one and see what happens. |
