Sony SL-3000 schematic

I tried the record button and the capstan in record mode works ok, but in play mode it doesn't turn.
so, the motor is ok, is something else.

[Alfonsol]

If i press very hard the play button it works, i think it s a problem with the switches activated by the play button.

i will try it connected to a tv to see if i got image

[Alfonsol]

I just tried with a tv and i got very good image, perfect tracking.

So my problem is related with the play button, i will clean the switches.

[Alfonsol]

I cleaned the switch, and i still have to keep the play key pressed, but not as hard ss before.

i tried several tapes, i get good sound and good image.

The issues i have now are the play key and the belt that drives the loading mechanism that sometimes slip

[Alfonsol]

still waiting for the belts.

So far heads are good and i have no tracking issues

[Alfonsol]

i just changed the belt and now the loading mechanis is working properlyThe nly issue now is i have to keep pressed the play button. There is a mechanical issue, it do not activate one of the 2 switches if i don't keep it pressed.
