Denon DRM 740 tape does not play (by 2 users)
I recently returned from Peace Corps service and unpacked my stored Denon DRM-740 and found that the motor wont drive the tape when it is in play mode. The motor takes up the slack in the tape and then stops. In fast forward or rewind there is no problem driving the tape.
What is the likely cause of the problem? How much repair likely cost? And is this a repair I could do on my own with little electronics repare expierence?
Thanks.

i have the same problem with my drm-740. starts and shuts right off. problem is, that putting any amount of money into a tape deck in this day and age seems very silly. i hardly used the thing, paid way too much for it when i bought it, and now it doesn't work. should have bought what my brother bought, a yamaha tape deck. oh well, you live and learn-but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be nice to hear. btw, my nakamichi car deck always sounded better than the denon anyway.
ApprenticeFFW and RW are fine, but once play button is pushed, the head engages then quickly shuts down.
I've cleaned the deck twice and no change.
The deck had been A-OK since day one prior to this problem.
Any suggestions before sending it out.
Thanks, Jack
