Thanks Omminp.

You were right... again :)

3 rubber buffers were broken in two parts, the 4th was the only still in one piece.

3 drops of loctite made the job, I feel more secure now.

While the set was opened, I took videos of the moving parts at the 3 speeds. The belt on the right side moves strangely. The set is more noisy when "closed".

Videos are online on this playlist, if you can't reach them just tell me:

Yup, the idler is definitely the culprit for this noise. The usual flat spot plus hardened rubber. Nothing to be done here, just have it redone by a competent company. All three have to be done, by the way.

Meanwhile, you can swap the noisier one with the one at right.

Never mind the belt, but yeah, it’ll need to be replaced too. It’s a bit loose.

Hi and thanks for the videos.

The noise doubles in frequency and becomes more intrusive as the speed increases.   The idler is causing the noise, a bit annoying for you.  Maybe worth swapping the idlers in the short term as suggested by chartz.

The belt is not likely to be a problem provided the uptake spool works ok when playing a tape.

Post a photo when you get it all back together.

Regards Peter

Hi,

Thanks Peter and Chartz for your informations.

As I am not particularly skilled with my hands, I'm not very confident in swapping the idlers.

Chartz, I understand what you mean, but I don't see how to identify which idler is the loudest and how / where to put it.

I think it's more sensible to digitize my tapes first and will update this thread once done.

Thanks again,

Yann.
