RE: As of Today I Own : Otari MX-5050 R2R, Tascam DA-20 MkII DAT and Tascam 112 MkII Cassette

First, thanks for the offer, but let someone else have a crack at it.

Second, would you check the plate on the back and see if it says "MX5050 BII2." There were a lot of MX5050 decks and I want to be sure it's the same one as mine. This one is probably the most common of all, but not the newest.

Third, have you tried "exercising" the pinch roller -- push it down from the top, repeatedly -- to see what happens. Its action is not supposed to be lubricated, but maybe there's something in there -- i.e., old dried grease --that will respond to this. If it doesn't pop right back up when you push it down, its time for a trip to the service tech, You, maybe?

You do need the manual.
