Thanks for the response.
Yes, I tried with tape at first with no luck. I am familiar with reel to reel and have a Pioneer rt-701.
I am not sure what the Capstan pulley solenoid is. Is there another name for that part? I have mucked around with all the levers and pulleys to get some response from the capstan with no luck.
The capstan does not respond to anything. Tension arms moved around any nothing. The upper reel motors do respond.
I have downloaded the service manual but find little information on the capstan. What I find strange is that when I spin the capstan by hand it keeps spinning on and on. Absolutely nothing mechanical jamming it.
It is a pity as This one seems to be in much better shape than what I see people working on YouTube.
