@lesnombredix i mean, it plays tape, but no sound comes out

I just received one of these from my in-laws. They had the TC230 in storage for over 20 years. It still works just fine. This is my second reel to reel. The TC230 will be my back up, I use a Pioneer RT-707 constantly in my recording studio. I am a fan of the reel to reel sound. Thanks for this video, watching it was time well spent.

I was thinking along those lines. I will try to find something that will work. Maybe a little contact cement to hold it in place. I'll post again if I get it worked out. Thanks for the suggestion/confirmation. You've been a great help!

If you don't want to bend anything, I would try affixing a thin piece plastic between the two metal parts. So they can slide past each other.

No it is difficult to push down because the tip of the outer swing arm (for lack of a better term) is slightly in the way. Move it about a 1-2 mm and it is out of the way. the locking mech for the record button functions normally and will click and release when moving to the stop position.

Lol, you got the other problem, the tape transport fixed before I could respond, great. The record button is suppose to release when you move the recorder to stop. Is the problem that it is to easy to push down?
hello. my akai 1730ss is not playing tape. could this be a head problem?

@lesnombredix
That is one of many possibilities.

My nephew has one of these and we basically got it running but it plays really really fast no matter what speed setting we have it on. What do we need to do to slow it down to proper speed?

Check to see if there is a motor speed control. And how do you know it is running fast?
