I have a Pioneer CT-F8282 tape deck that acts really sluggish.

It seems to struggle to rewind tapes, fast forward, and will play for a
bit before the auto-stop mechanism kicks in, thinking that the tape has
ended.

I replaced the belts (a formidible task that involved taking half the
machine apart) but that didn't solve the problem.

Any suggestions as to what my next step should be?


Regards,

Tim
