Hello All

Any experience with tape chewing on Hitachi FX623A? I have read the
newsgroup tried to open the transport assembly. I have located the
problem to a probably gear mechanism under the forward spool. In order
to get to the assembly I think you have to dissassemble a bunch of
springs and gears and a cage. Just wanted to be sure before I end up
with missing parts.

Thanks a ton.

Sounds like you're on the right track. IIRC a molded plastic retainer fails
and the gear etc slip down on their shaft.
