Things the Service manual doesn't answer

Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

On my Otari MX-5050: I really see a lot of back pressure (spinning the opposite way to keep slack out) on the opposite reel when FF/REW are engaged. Normal?

I know someone answered this somewhere on some board : when the relays are intermittent and chatter are they bad and need replacing or is it cold solders usually or something else. Someone who had this issue here will know.

Thanks. I finally got a tape to try yesterday and play seems fine. REW/FF don't seem right.
