Default This is a TOTAL MYSTERY....

Thanks for the tip, but the stop lamp is the
very first thing I checked. It is working just fine.


**Just a wild thought: Do the pinch rollers move freely on their pivots? If
the pinch rollers are jamming....


Gummed up pinch roller arm pivots are so common, these
several decades down the road, that a truly serious rework
should include removing the rocker arms for washing to
remove all the old wax (it ain't grease any more) and relube.
Auto wheel bearing grease is great, and easily available.

We're all assuming that the little guy has a good control
motor belt (the one that pulls the head bridge up and down),
the number one failure of the classic Naks, and that the
head bridge moves freely.

Oh, and does the take-up reel rotation sensor lamp still work?

All good fortune, and keep us updated,
