RE: Otari question - the other tension

Yes the tension of the pinch roller from the solenoid and spring assembly. That arm was "frozen" as I reported in my first post. I wanted to remove the pivot point but in a few days it finally loosened up.

The brake tension pads look almost new as do the heads. I think it just got little use as they had a few there at the sale. So since I'm new to Otari I can't offer much help on the take up tension.

Thanks for chiming in.
