My apologies for this suggestion. Mode Switch? Did you clean it? Ty Tiberius Kraemer Blue Star Electronics 3312 Silverton Rd.

A Toshiba M440 has developed an odd fault: it won't rewind or fast forward with tape unlaced from the head. If it is in cue/review it works like a charm, but straight Rew/FF, it engages the mode but does not move. Don't have the manual (or the inclination to get one for such an old beast): does anyone remember this one well enough ? Oh, I am a specialist in all types of recording oriented electronics, from home studio up to big-league toys. If you have an obscure amp, tape deck, processor etc, I may have notes in my files. Thanks in advance for your help.
