It sat unplugged for a couple years, and then I hooked it up again to check some old tapes. BANG! Immediately started eating tapes. This was surprising to me, since I had never had an issue with it.
Okay, chalk it up to age and sitting for a couple years.. maybe got some dust and pet hair in it. Shrug.
So my wife brings home one we'd bought for her classroom years ago. I use it to do what I needed, still works great.
And then that one sits for a year. I hooked it up last nite to do something.. BANG! Now this one is immediately eating tapes too.
It's just frustrating that two different units that were working normally the last time I used them, suddenly decide to go kablooey after sitting idle for a time.
I suppose there's no explanation other than the mechanisms just don't like to sit for long periods..
Anyone experience similar issues? I assume there are quite a few people here still using them..
