This is the 2nd time I've recapped a mkIII machine. The first time, no problems. This time overhauling was business as usual, then I put in a tape. It sounded fine, so I let the tape keep playing. About 20 minutes later I walk out of the room and hear a weird noise, then realized the speed of the tape had taken off to hyper speed. I rushed back in and turned it off.
I played the tape again, listening, and about 15 minutes later the machine sped up way high, then came back down, a couple times. After wigging out for about 15 seconds it went back to normal. I wonder if this has something to do with the Pitch Control... This is actually a NoS machine and this is the first time it's been used. Not sure that info helps any.
