I just replaced the belt with a PRB generic. Now about half the time I have to nudge the flywheels to get the capstans going.Happens in both directions. I cleaned and lubed the flywheels and checked endplay. Don't have a schematic for unit. Wondering if there is a startup circuit I should be checking? Belt seemed to be a little tight so I gave it a good stretch. No affect. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,Dennis
Once you have established that it's not the motor itself stalling, just get an original belt from Teac. They still have them. A too-tight belt can definitely stop a motor, especially a DC motor like on the X-7R. I's not a "start-up circuit" problem.
The motor could have bad lube or a problem with it's internal brushes.

Probably you stretched it too much, and now the belt is slipping. New belts tend to be a little tight and that=B4s normal they tend to loose themselves with everyday use. Get a new belt and don=B4t stretch it.
You can get some really good help on the Teac decks on the Yahoo reel-to-reel group(s).
