Looks like a bad capstan motor here, trying to confirm. No capstan action. It keeps blowing the complementary pair motor driver transistors on the capstan driver board, I replace them and it tries to move for a second... blows again.
It is very easy to get to the motor windings connector, it is on the right edge of the tacho board just under the capstan motor. It is the 3 pin connector, you can unplug it & plug it back in without removing anything. So... if anyone has access to one and will take resistance readings across the 3 contacts and report back that should help confirm if this motor is toast...
Anyone know of a place the rewinds these?
Thanks!
