Tks for your reply J & sorry for not getting back to you sooner.After speaking with the customer again he says playback picture was poor & his tapes were damaged.The heads were very dirty as was the auto head cleaner.I cleaned the heads,discarded the old auto head cleaner.I have ordered a new P/R assy,which I think is why his tapes are wrinkeled.I recorded on 72h & playback was ok, but could see the tape running ragged,which I think is a worn P/R........Don......
