I tore apart the capstan servo board and found evidence of some blown circuitry , must of been replaced 'cause I pulled them from the pcb and measured OK. the corosion does not look like it came from the caps

After putting the servo pcb back in I deoxed all the harnesses that connect to the servo pcb.

AND NOW IT WORKS, perhaps there was junk on one of the connectors.

THANKS TO ALL!! PLays @ 15 and 7 ips.

Next is to calibrate the playback, record, bias and equalization. Anybody here, that lives on Long Island skilled at this and willing to work for beer?

I went to the local service tech but I think $250 is a bit steep

Have not tried to see if it records, but thats for another day.

Thanks to all
