Hi all,
I've got a problem with my MTR90-II capstan..
While i was allinging the machine i noticed on my scope that the sinewave was wobbling a bit when I compared the input signal to the replayed signal..
I traced it to a slight swing of the capstan roller.
First i replaced the roller but the problem remained. So i guess it must be the capstan-axle. And when the machine is @ 30ips you can see the capstan axle swing a little aswell.. I have the spare so I took the motor out of the machine in total, undid the roller and found a locking ring..
When i removed that and pulled the axle al little it stayed put...
Can somebody help we out with how to proceed.. i don't want to apply excessive force for now..
Any help is more than welcome!
all a happy X-mass!
