On occasion we find all model portables not stopping when rewinding to the beginning. Normally when reading the TOC the player will slow down and the slip/gear will nicely stop once the tape reaches it beginnings.
When this problem occurs, the player will not stop (although it slows down) and a rattling noise will come from the mechanism. Sometimes it stops, sometimes you would have to press stop.
Anyone found a solution for this?
We sometimes see that a little longer belt (65-67)mm alleviates the problem.
I should remove the pcb and put the player in rewinding mode with the solenoid. Than directly power the motor and see what the problem is. I think there should be something with the solenoid/cam gear/trigger lever. Or some old grease on the mechanics that keeps a gear out of position.
