Hello all, new guy here. I normally work on analog decks but I had a customer bring me 3 DA-88 decks that are in various needs of repair. I have yet to get one to record and play back. Hoping someone can give a little advice.
The main problem Im having is 2 of the decks are eating tape. Ive narrowed it down to not enough back tension. If i apply a bit of pressure on the supply side tape guide, the tape stays in the guides and feeds properly. Without that pressure, the tape is all over the place.
Is there a back tension adjustment? I do have the FSM but dont see anything in it concerning this.

thanks all sb
