Thanks Martin - that's brilliant.

Mine isn't a Deluxe model but there doesn't look a lot of difference -split faders on the diagram I think. It sounds fantastic on the tape that came with it plus it was supplied with 15 blank new/sealed tapes of similar vintage

Never in the States....

One other question - probably down to me not understanding what the 2000K can do - I have tried to play a couple of tapes recorded on my Sony TC630 and they play backwards and sound distant as if I've got the tape on wrong. I'm guessing its the head alignment but I dont know - the Sony recorded 2 track stereo so they should play.

Sorry if I sound like a total novice here... 😕

Callout 2 on the first diagram is a button to select between 2 and 4 tracks.
I suggest you try this with your Sony tapes.

Martin

Ah... thought that might be the answer - but my 2000K doesn't have that button.... 😂

OK, then try winding the tape to the other end and start playing from there.

Martin

The button was only on the Deluxe version. Try what Martin suggested. You can actually play two track tapes on a four track recorder (they thought of that when developing four track). The other way around is not possible.

Tried that too. Have also tried tapes recorded on a mono Grundig and a mono Philips, all of similar vintage and all do the same. However, one thing I'm wondering... I am playing the output via the line out to an amplifier at the moment, not to speakers so I was wondering if the line out routing is different. 

Thanks for the suggestions - very much appreciated.
