Hi, i bought a TCD-D100, it plays DAT cassettes, FWD, RWD, records, but the issue is that quite often "eats" the tapes. Destroyed one already. I have opened the device and everything looks ok in terms of gears. Any advice what I can do to service it and make it more stable when reading tapes? Like, from the photos areas/gears I need to clean with alcohol or oil them...
There are some cracked gears, known issue on this model. Cracks are visible, see picture attached. New gear set is available here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/396537244129
