Has any one had speed problems with there nak cr7 or can guide me in
the right direction. I have not used it in while, belt looks OK but
I'm sure it could use new one. It plays fine for about 5 to 10 minutes
then starts to slow down 30-40 minutes later. Sometimes is so slow it
almost stops. I try another tape and starts OK for a few minutes and
it goes back to slow. Does the direct motor supposed to have plenty of
torque cause I can stop it kind of easily.

If it's a direct drive motor, no it wouldn't have a lot of torque, but you
could have a lubrication problem. For example at the bearings where the
flywheel(s) capstan shafts feed through the mechanism. This sort of thing
would often get worse with playing time. Worth a try cleaning and
lubricating those shafts and bearings, I would say.
