I think i have to check this topic and maybe this will solve my issue with the alignment for the head.  
He had a similair issue and documented it very good.  
Thanks you @Remi

> I have repaired a DCC600 with a new gear and new belts, but it didn’t come easy. I had to take it apart several times and each time i learned a little more. The problem with this one was that it would not play or (re)wind, turned to stop quickly after pressing play or wind. The new belts didn’t fix that and turned out the gear was shut. I also found a lose pinch roller (!) laying around, weird. I found that this isn’t the best design to take apart, well engineered but not friendly to maintain…
