Wasn't there mention of the chains being too slack? Maybe that explains the
misalignment in winding the tape on the drum?

 

The squeal is odd. I sometimes get that when a tape is stuck in or before
the tapebox.Power off as quickly as possible .

Because of the age of these cycling machines, Jerry Korb would never cycle
more than one station at a time for fear of spilling tapes. The 1/4" tape is
also more prone to static buildup, causing tape stickies. Fortunately, the
new machines don't and won't suffer this problem.
