I've got a TEAC X-3R (R is for auto reverse BTW), and a Realistic TR-3000 (might want to add that model to your search) IIRC that is basically a repackaged rebadged TEAC X-3. Audio Karma's database has service lit for all of them if I'm not mistaken. Also I think there is a capstan speed adjustment pot on these that might be worth tweaking.
My TEAC don't have sound half the time in reverse mode, and my Realistic (which is single direction BTW) has an issue where most of the time the servos don't want to respond to the play and fast wind buttons.
The Realistic also loves to throw it's belt which sucks because it is three times harder to get to it because of the way the Shack designed their custom cabinet.
These are GREAT machines when working, but they are not usually trouble free at this age.
