It's an old one. When you plug it in the stop light just keeps blinking. Won't take tape. The capstan turns when first plugged in as well as the reel but the head doesn't move ,not sure if it is supposed to or not . Anybody have any ideas ? Would a bad mode switch do this. al marquardt ampm@xxxxxxx ------------------------------------------ To REMOVE your email address, click here: http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html To CHANGE your email address, click here: http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html ------------------------------------------ ***NEW*** Tips Added Instantly!!!*** Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/
