Replacing Gear C | Tascam 464

Sometimes you'll get a problem with the Tascam 464 Portastudio (and alsothe 488 mkII) where the tape gets stuck or there is no tape movement - if the tape is stuck the three LEDs above the transport buttons will flash, or else you may hear a whirring or buzzing noise when he unit is turned on. If so there is a good chance that one of the gears which controls the retraction of the magnetic tape heads has crumbled and needs to be replaced - in this video I explain the above in more detail and show you how to replace this part. ___________________________________________________________________________________ TETRAKAN - Fix & Use Tape Recorders Overviews; tear-downs; repair vlogs; techniques; tutorials; demo recordings... ...covering every cassette multitrack recorder ever made!* *(eventually)    / tetrakan   Paypal donations are gratefully accepted via my blog, which also features written articles and free downloads of service manuals;- https://tetrakansupermonobloc.home.blog/ If you would like to make a regular donation check out my Patreon account;-   / tetrakan   I prefer to answer questions in the youtube comments where my answers can help more than one person, but if you need to share photos etc, you can message me via facebook.   / tetrakan   Tools and equipment I use when repairing portastudios;- https://kit.co/Tetrakan
