TASCAM 22-4

[GYITARMAN]

I just replaced the drive belt on my 22-4 and everything works fine, except every tape that I have tried to play plays backwards . Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong ? Feel kind of stupid, never had this issue before.I know there is a way to remedy this, but right at this moment I'm totally lost. I would appreciate any feedback.

how about a photo of the internals showing the belt position

have you looked for/got a service manual ?

Sir GYITARMAN . . . . . . .(SHOUTING) . . . . .can you hear me now ?


Sez:
"every tape that I have tried to play plays backwards"

I say:
How you do dat ? ? ? ?

Its only been a hunnert years, since my eyeballing one of those .
Its BIG brother with full 10.5 inch reels turning , was quite an impressive sight.

Considering only one belt for the capstan motor to its flywheel and capstan drive shaft and 1 minor belt, which is for the
tape counter.

PLUS . . . .The feed and take up reels use their separate individual motor drives.

Have you heard the audio of a prerecorded tape, and what does it sound like.


After dropping/pulling off the PB/Record/Erase head covers escutcheon . . . . . for open visibility :

The unit has end of tape sensing via metallic tabs on the tape ends, will shorting a screwdriver across the right or left sensor contacts, reverse the capstan and feed reel / take up reel drive motors ?

Standing by for feedback . . . . .

Le unit . . . . . . .
