Hi Valentin! I've been scratching my head for the past few days, observing everything and trying to identify the root cause... I understand from...
Great, thank you! I will contact you when I get fully desperate :cool: I've managed to get another WM-D3 unit for very cheap (I was super lucky)...
Thanks, I will do the tests with the motor and flywheel. For the small rear gear, I replaced it already, together with the central gear and...
Hi Valentin, It's taken me a while as I was a bit lazy, but I've now checked the whole thing again - i.e. went through the whole capstan roller...
I bought these recently and am pretty happy with them, they do cover everything needed:...
Hi Valentin, I have thoroughly cleaned the pinch roller and capstan, they're pristine. They're parallel and when the roller touches the capstan...
