Teac A-1200 help!

Tuck 6 July 2004

Hey,
I just got a Teac A-1200 reel-to-reel and ive cleaned it up quite a bit but when the tape starts it makes sqweaking sounds. I think it could be on the heads or something like that. Does anyone know what i should be and does anyone know where i can download manuals off line for free.Thanks
Tuck

Check all the rubber for dirt/wear and make any necessary adjustments of the pinch rollers and plastic tape guides.

Try using a new tape.. old tapes can get gummy and cause squeaking ... be sure to clean the machine again after running an old gummy tape on it ...

If there is something on that old tape you need to recover, you cann "bake" it and then back it up immmeadiatly ...
