The recording side does not turn at the same speed as the original tape ?
Is there something I can do to fix this or must it GO someplace? We use it for the church shut-ins.
Thank you,
Judy
Hi has the tape player got a high speed seting for recording
hey sweet_rascal ill leave this one to you respect man soz didnt know you posted
Hi no its not a problem but some tape players have hi speed setting so that the player can record from tape to tape at higher speeds so as your doesnt have it then that wont be the problem.
Sweet_rascal's answer is not far from being wrong as their is nothing inside mechanically that can be adjusted to alter the speed of the tape its going to be down to a component failing.
But you will probably find it alot cheaper to replace the tape deck then get it repaired.
Also does it have to be a tape recorder cant you use a different format as they are fading out tape format and in few years youll find it difficult to get spare tapes.
Do you only use it to record from one tape onto the other if this is the only purpose then you could by a cheap hifi that has twin tape and you can use this the same as you use the one you have got let me know if you need further assistance ok
What has happened is the tape that was slipping has caused damage to the drive motor as sweet_rascal said their is not much you can do yourself as their are no servicable parts it will require soldering in new parts and sourcing new parts depending on the age it might not be financially worth it as you can pick these up for next to nothing even a stereo with two tapes allows you to record from tape to tape so this would be the best option as getting repaired can cost as much as a new recorder so i would by even a second hand stereo that has twin tapes as this will have the feature you want.
Anything that has twin tape decks will allow you to record from tape to tape you can pick these up for new for next to nothing.

no, it does not....is that good or bad??
This is used each week to record our church services and delivered to our church family shut-ins... It was working beautifully until last week when a Sony tape seems to be slipping or something, it wasn't turning right. Then a Memorex tape and it recorded fine, but this week, won't work on any.
