Re: [ARSCLIST] tape eaten by 112mkII

[Robert Hodge <rjhodge@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

In order to remove the window which comes out by sliding it upwards,
the compartment must first be opened.

If then capstan has wrapped the tape around itself due to a takeup
malfunction , the compartment won't open. Don't try to forcefully remove
the tape or much damage will occur to the tape and cassette.

If you're not comfortable with exploring these conditions, then a  GOOD
repair facility can probably help you.

Best Wishes !

Okay, here's another one...

My brand new Tascam 112mkII appears to have just eaten the very first
tape 
it was supposed to have played.

(Frustrating.)

In any case, I need to get that tape out of there but cannot open the 
drawer to get it out. The eject button isn't working. (Read: it feels
as if 
the [eject] button is being blocked from doing its job.)

I see no screws with which to manually remove the window.
Suggestions..?

thanks again,
Brandon
