I've got a Sony DTC-75ES which plays tapes fine.. records fine... but
won't fast forward or rewind ok. It does it very slugish. Anyone got
an idea what I could check on this?


From my experience,in the seriously multi-pole magnet in the tiny motor,
some poles coalesce together or something , the poles are too close. Loses
magnetism and so less torque .
Repair (or not IIRC) of 1 or 2 on my tips files , from below
