The torque might be too high on the feed reel, a quick remedy might be to use a low torque reel to hold the feed reel tape. The one on the left is called the feed or supply reel and the other is called the take-up reel. A low torque reel is one that has larger than normal hub. REWIND the tape onto a reel that has a quantity (about 10 mins) of old tape already on the reel and load the tape you are trying to play onto this reel with the old tape still on the hub. This extra tape will keep the supply reel from producing as much pull on the tape near the end of the reel as before. Keeping in mind if the tape was recorded on this machine, the audio will sound too fast near the end of the tape. The error has already been recorded. This might turn out to be a redo. (record on and play the tape again). PS. In the old days you could buy these low torque reels.
Hi, Open reel tapes are equivelent to tapes like used on the older reel to reel tape recorders. They used to have open reel tapes for audio and video recorders. Many are still in use today. Open reel tapes had to be hand threaded through the tape transport whereas a cassette tape is self contained and the transport handles all the unloading and loading functions. Hope this helps, Cubby
