I managed to pick up a TCWA9ES at a flea market recently and now getting around to servicing it. Prior to doing so, the A deck door was stuck closed.
After first observing, it looks like the reel motor is not working at all. I broke out the volt meter and I am not getting any reading from either the working and non-working reel motor solder connections. When the open button on either deck is pressed, the capstan motor turns both flywheels.
I have replaced both belts on each transport, with the B transport functioning as normal.
I tried resoldering the capacitors, connections and motor plugs to no avail. The capstan motor still turns on both when the working is pressed, but not te other way around.
