[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 78496, member: 807"] Ah, you have your reasons! Mine is more different from yours than I guessed then - I have no tape lifters at all - the tape is just naturally far from the heads (different shaped headblock) until the pinch roller pulls in - which it can do to two different 'degrees' - fully for play, and partial for shuttle-with-audio. A question: when your A80 is 'idling', i.e, just sitting in 'stop mode', how much noise does the capstan motor make? The metal work of the trolley seems to make quite an effective sounding board, but I don't know if the capstan [i]should [/i]be silent, or is some noise is normal. [/QUOTE]
