    I'm fixing up a wm-55 and it's having issues with playback. The pinch rollers were in a terrible state so I used donors which are ok but not great. It basically only touches one side of the tape and pulls it out. I've attached videos from each side. Thank you so much in advance for any help!

    (Also I wanted to look at the idler but I have no idea how the flywheel comes out.)

    Hi guys! Hopefully someone can help. I figured out how to take the flywheel out, the washer holding it in was transparent so I didn't see it.

    I swapped the idler with one from another junk wm-55. It's still got issues. Stalling and clicking. Please let me know what is going on!
