Symptom
Capstan does not rotate
SECTION ‘‘B"" TAPE TRANSPORT MECHANISM TROUBLES
Trouble
(Trouble with motor) 1. Broken field coil
2. Defective motor starting capacitor (C2)
3. Rotor shaft dragging due to lack of oil
4. Foreign matter between rotor and stator
(Trouble with power transmission 1. Broken copstan drive belt
mechanism) 2. Capstan drive belt off of driving position
3. Motor bushing slipping on motor shaft
4. Oil adhering to motor bushing and/or flywheel
Capstan rotates in stop position, but 1. Decreased motor torque
tape does not advance when switched to 2. Defective C2
play position. 3. Motor bushing slipping on motor shaft
(Trouble with motor)
Trouble with power transmission 1. Capstan drive belt stretched
mechanism 2. Oil adhering to motor bushing and/or flywheel
3. Capstan bushing slipping on flywheel shaft
4. Excessive tension in Take-up/Supply reel assembly
5. Oil adhering to capstan and/or pinch wheel
6. Insufficient pinch wheel pressure
Capstan advances tape, but take-up reel 1. Reel shaft dragging due to Lack of oil
does not take up tape 2. Take-up idler wheel does not operate properly
3. Oil adhering to ilder wheel and roller on take-up reel shaft assembly
4. Take-up idler wheel poor contact
Take-up function normal, but tape
speed slower than regular speed
(Trouble with motor) 1. Rotor shaft dragging due to lock of oil or defective motor starting
capacitor (C2)
(Fluctuation in power supply) 1. Check line voltage and cycle use voltage regulator if line voltage
is lower than standard
(Trouble with power transmission 1. Capstan drive belt stretched and slipping on motor bushing
mechanism) 2. Capstan drive belt not in correct driving position
3. Oil adhering to motor bushing and/or flywheel
Wow/Flutter (Irregular tape movement)
(Trouble with motor) . Decreased motor torque
2. Defective motor starting capacitor (C2)
(Trouble with power transmission 1. Take-up, supply reel shaft dragging or excessive tension
mechanism) 2. Capstan drive belt stretched and slipping
3. Unbalanced flywheel rotation
4. Rubber on pinch wheel deteriorated
5. Pinch wheel or tape guide does not rotate smoothly
6. Dirty head surfaces
7. Insufficient pinch wheel pressure
8. Capstan bushing slipping on flywheel shaft
9. Worn-out idler wheel or no oil
