[QUOTE="deltatango, post: 1051248, member: 312296"] Thank you so far for your inputs, mechanism, head, capstan belt, pressure roller have very little signs of wear/usage which is why I took it on as a project. Light is not an issue as it was well shaded when I tried it, loaded out OK but no drum spin up. I will continue with capacitor changes plus now concentrating on those others I missed, did use an ESR meter on them but they give a high reading due to their old style ratings compared to a later version component which has 100Khz figures of less than 1 ohm etc. Went for those 10uF, 22uF and 47uF as I have found they seem mostly to fail possibly due to their smaller can size, over 100uF and 220uF seem less bothered unless they are right on a power generator, these older capacitors I find are real small types compared to more modern versions of similar value/voltage but Digikey had some left. Will battle on with fingers crossed, still good practice though with tweezers, solder paste or 28gauge solder plus 6x glasses as a general work horse. Thanks from David..... [/QUOTE]
