I posted this in the Tape section, but I had no responses.
I recently replaced the belts and idler wheel on a CT-F 950. The take up and supply reels took a bit to start spinning but were fine for about an hour.
After an hour the deck wouldn't play any more. Also, FF/RW do not work.
After investigating, I found that the idler wheel isn't fully engaging with the take up and supply reels. If I use a q-tip to engage the idler wheel FF/RW work fine.
Any ideas about what the cause/solution is?
