BUSTED!!
First of all, thanks to pustelniakr for his amazing thread over in the DIY section! Kudos for the detailed write-up.
Posted this question in his thread, but figured I would post here as well, in case any other gurus have experience with this.
Currently rebuilding my newly acquired 909. So far I've replaced the capstan motor belt, re-built the motor itself, and have also replaced the pinch roller rubber.
Currently in the process of re-building the tensioners and am having some issues dismantling the assembly.
I've removed the initial section and am currently at the tap plate. Cant seem to figure out how to get the little metal rod (tap plate) out to be able to access the rest of the tensioner. I've managed to lift the rod out of the crevice , but the outer raised edge of the guide case prevents it from being lifted up further to be removed. (see pic).
Would appreciate some advice from someone who has done this in the past on how to dismantle the rest of the tensioner.
Thanks!
