You could try that, but you're also in danger of getting the tape caught on other things as you wind it back.

Some of the M300's were prone to this problem because of the material the guides were made from.

You have to cycle these models manually (only by hand).

So I experienced my first cycling mishap tonight (that didn't take long)... I cycled from station 1 to 6, I heard a loud high pitched squeal, and some of the tape was misaligned on the rear drum.

So my question is,,,, should I try try to manually roll the drum back to station 1 hoping the tape straightens itself out and realigns?

Thanks in advance.
