Spoiler Alert. Should have checked the pinch rollers first.

Yes carry on with the repair.

[@Rwilts98]

Obvs I think you should carry on 😂

Great mechanics

I would like to recommend to my friend the following steps to gain experience in disassembling and reassembling an analogic/mechanical devices: 1. Before disassembling any part, study and analyze how it is assembled (take photos from different angles, it often works better than recording a video). 2. As you progress in the disassembly, first reassemble the part you just removed. That's right, replace the part you just removed. Study the fit and learn how to reposition it and only then move on to the next step. 3. This way you create a visual memory of the reassembly while you are disassembling the device. 4. Never leave a device open (completely disassembled) for several days, because the more days pass the more difficult it is to reassemble. Very complex devices should be reassembled on the same day, even if you have not finished the repair or are waiting for a part to arrive/buy, so avoid starting at the end of the day or you will not have time to reassemble. 5. Use Styrofoam plates to draw the part's layout (or take a photo and print it, stick it on the Styrofoam) and place the screws there to know exactly the original position of each screw.

@@retroaria Excellent advice! Unfortunately, due to work and family commitments, I have to start in the evenings, and often don't have time to reassemble it before bed. But this does lead to forgetting how to assemble it 😁

​@@CBitsTech No problem, just avoid letting several days go by. Whenever possible, resume work the next day or night.

Before I forget, thank you for commenting on the hacked videos on my channel. Unfortunately it was hacked but I was able to revert it after contacting KZbin support.

[@CBitsTech]

@retroaria Ah, I forgot about that! I'm glad you got it sorted out. I had unsubscribed so I didn't see any more of the hacker's uploaded videos. I just resubscribed. 👍
