I just got a 1967 Ampex 440 4 Track Recorder and it has one problem that I can't figure out. When I press the play button or any other button on the control panel it the does the same thing. The rewind motor goes into rewind mode and the take up reel goes into fast forward mode. So, it is running in rewind and fast forward at the same time.

A couple of weeks ago I had to upgrade from a 4 track Tascam Portastudio 414mk2 cassette to a Tascam DP03 digital recorder because I couldnt find new blank cassettes and I dont use ebay.So,I upgraded.Brought a brand new DP03.I have it set up with:
Roland RD700sx stage piano,
Roland KC350 amp and a
mic with XLR plug.
