ok, so tonight, i popped the new tubes in, threw the switch, and rolled the variac. to my delight it fired right up with a slight bit of static but the preamp is alive and well. i loaded a 7" reel on it and hit play. -nothing. the motor is not frozen, the belt is snug and not goo, and everything fits right. the main drive motor seems to be retarted and acting like it dosent know witch way to spin, cause its vibrating and if i take the belt off and flick it with my thumbs it spins but slowly. any idea what would cause this? every other function, (exept the most important one seems to be a-ok, the record feature works, and the meter lights up red, and RWD and FFwd is the fastest ive ever seen, -almost scary frightiningly fast! ive never seen a deck that can rip threw tapes as fast as this thing can! maybe 15 seconds for a 7"reel @1800 ft!!!!!! im sooo close to hearing this thing i can taste it! what am i doing wrong? what can i do??
