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?

Hello, everyone, have you ever played a game called RuneScape? I heard this game is very popular before, and now there are still many players, and recently I found a website may be able to help you, to share with you www.rsgoldfast.com
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 productI highly doubt if an mechanism assembly is available.

I assume you have reel to reel 1/2 inch audio tape.
You will have to find a tape machine that uses the same size, format and speed as the 1/2 inch tape was recorded at in order to play it back (Presumably, you will record it into a DAW or computer digital audio format for future use?).
This tape could be a multi-track in a format specific to the original machine it was recorded on, it could be digital audio on reel to reel tape, it could be many different formats.
What do you know about the tape, how, when, and on what equipment it was recorded?
Try removing the battery and charging it. Then put the battery back on the camera. This will reset the cassette system. The cassette should open or close depending upon what status it is in. Once you get the camera to eject fully, clean your heads with a dry head cleaner cassette for Hi8 video. If your camera is still eating tape, could be a broken pin or damaged heads.
Many different things could sause a problem, belts, mode switch, capacitors in capstan or head motor drive circuit. Hard to say what exactly is wrong with the machine without looking at it.
Canon NTSC ZR25 MC Digital video camcorder is eating the tape. I've loaded a new tape and get an "eject tape" message each time. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
The pinch roller, guids, idler assembly, and the belts have to be changed. Then the guide alignment should be done to make sure that transport and heads are tracking the tape properly.
With age and use, these machines reach a point where they need maintenance.
