I was planning on recording a number of plucks on a tuned guitar from
an accurate recorder and playing back on the slow unit and adjusting
it while monitoring my electronic guitar tuner. Or trail and error,
if that failed.

I opened the unit up and there are two motors made by sharp behind the
cassette housing. They do have a hole in the rear of the round metal
body which has a plastic film on them. The belts don't look too bad
and look like they would be a bear to get to to replace anyway. And
as far as lubrication, I wouldn't know where to start.

If someone could make it sound easy, I would give it a shot.
Otherwise, back to the pile. Too bad, it is a nice unit with a baked
on black metal finish on the housing and the buttons have a very solid
feel to them....

BEFORE you adjust anything.... are you certain that the belts are not worn
or slipping and that the lubrication of the mechanism is OK???
There will either be a pot on the main board or a small adjustment hole in
the back of the motor.
Without a test tape or any test equipment ..... exactly how do you propose
getting the speed absolutely correct?
