F IT WORKS.. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
CLEAN HEADS BY USING RUBBING
ALCOHOL ON A COTTON SWAB..
WIPE OFF EXCESS ON A PAPER TOWEL AND THEN CLEAN HEAD(S)
DRY WITH PAPER TOWEL.
THE SETTINGS ON A CASSETTE DECK ARE VERY PRECISE, DO NOT ADJUST
ANYTHING. FACTORY SETTINGS
NORMALLY DO NOT GO OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. DO NOT LUBRICATE
ANYTHING. SOMEDAY A BELT
(IF ANY) WILL STRETCH; THATS THE
FIRST TIME YOU SHOULD EVEN ATTEMPT TO GO INSIDE THE BOX.


Actually, the only statement that I agree with tinj the above paragraph is the
first one.

Do not use rubbing alcohol, it contains lubricants and water.

Factory settings are neither precise, accurate nor necessarily correct, but it
takes test tapes and equipment to verify or disprove them. Don't adjust them
until you know what you are doing and have the gear to verify your adjustments.

Almost any deck can be made to work better with the addition of new belts,
pinch roller and proper alignment.
