both new bands and cleaned pulleys. moving from REW to play causes the band to fall off, presumably due to a snatching / breaking / imbalance associated with this double connection to the tape presumably at take up. If I put in a guide then it can't fall off and will presumably self centre back up the vague hump on the periphery of the "reverse" flywheel. On baluster/ bulbous motor pulleys they usually have a preventer disc either side of the bulging active part. This pulley has a larger pulley on one side but nothing on the other in the way of a preventer.
