The tapes are dictated at a 2.4 speed setting but when I play them back on the T1000 it sounds like Mickey Mouse. If I turn to 1.2 it is ridiculously slow... This happened once before but fixed itself.. Help!!! Its hard to do dictation this way...

Yes if you can take it apart and find where the loose connection is.

Vintage 1976 Mickey Mouse TEIF 8000 Touch Tone Phone

https://www.etsy.com > listing > vintage-1976-mickey-...
Vintage 1976 Mickey Mouse TEIF 8000 Touch Tone Phone in good condition. It was plugged into a phone line and had a dial tone. It was able to call out and ...

yes only mini cassettes.

I just had this same problem. Micky danced and moved his mouth but no sound. I opened up Mickey's outfit at the back of the neck up to the top of his head and found a broken wire. I spliced the wire back together and Mickey works again! The 2 wires go from the back center of Mickey's head to the top of his left shoulder. Hope this helps someone else!

Hello just set the speed switch on the front bottom left to 2.4

1. Try to change the tape speed on your machine. Sometimes that will fix it.

2. Maybe the tape is just old (has been dictated on too many times) and in that case, have the person dictate on new tapes and discard the old ones. They dont last forever.

Hope I could help!

The tape might be getting old, replace it and see what happens.  If it is still acting up, It might be he is not recording properly or the recorder is bad.  Try talking directly into the mic and see if it is better.  If it is, he needs to talk louder or needs to hold it close.

The erase switch has probably failed and needs to be replaced.

try with some contact spray ,put it on the speed of tape button and that will solve the problem for some time.
