Hello,
Today I came across my late father's Teac X-1000R reel to reel tape deck and was excited to get it running and play some of his old recorded tapes. Unfortunately I ran into an issue trying to get it to play and having no experience with this technology am at a lost as to how to fix it. I was hoping this community could provide some advice and identify the problem I am having.
The issue I am having is the deck will power up, fast forward, and rewind, but does not do anything when I press play. It makes a thunk noise and the tension bars move up when they I press play. I looked around and I think it may be a belt issue? But again I have no clue.
Would love to have some feedback on this issue and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is a link to a video of the issue I am referring to.
