this machine which uses digital tape keeps eating tape and will not eject properly. I literally must take a pen and dig out tape debris out. Is there anything I can do myself? This machine is old and out of warranty, so there is no concern of voiding warranties by tinkering.
Thankyou!!

I will reload a tape into it and see what it does. How is my best way to take apart this machine to get to the assembly. And is the assembly user serviceable or replaceable?

thankyou

This is a nice DAT recorder for its time. This unit uses a drive gear system for the FF, RR and the take up reels. Try the ff and rr, if they work, I am quessing there is a bad take up idler clutch assembly.l If the ff and rr does not work, the drive belt(s) are most likely bad. Good Luck

I highly doubt if an mechanism assembly is available. You will most likely need to get to the mechanism and see whats not letting or making the take up reel turn. You could contact the TASCAM Operational Support Specialists at 323-727-7617 (M-F, 8am-5pm Pacific). You should be in front of your equipment so that any suggestions given by the product specialist can be implemented immediately, and to hopefully avoid subsequent phone calls on the same issue. It's also helpful to be familiar with the operation of your product as well as any associated equipment used with your TASCAM product
