  Retraction on the responses below.
  You really mucked-up (to put it gently) the assembly of the  track 
selector, Frank.  It appears upside-down, which would offset  it to the inside of 
the frame.  Does the headblock line up in any  way like that?

There is only one other observation I can make, then give  up on this.  
Unless the camera lens is causing a  distortion, the frame may be bent.  Fix 
it, then  proceed.

Well, okay, the spillbox needed to be  mounted on the new brackets.

Another good guess. That wasn't a goof. I wasn't  to that point yet. There 
is an ovious assembly mistake  in the first photo.

Okay, the retention ring and  c-clip are missing from the end of the  
capstan.

Nope, but you're getting close. The clips  are not required for the machine 
to operate  correctly.

It would be much easier to put the  headblock on if the W clips were 
installed  first.

That's why I suspected  you were merely being lazy.  So  find the error. 
Hint: Something in the first  picture is wrong. If  you don't look at a 400 a 
lot, you'll not likely  see it. I'm sure Martin saw it right away. It  was 
not critical, but the machine could not work  correctly as is  was.


Well, it certainly wouldn't produce much of  a signal without the  
headblock!
