I am the original owner of this CR-7A. It's been in climate controlled storage since the early 2000s. Imagine my surprise when I got her connected to my current setup and the transport mechanism was acting up. From my examination it appears not to have enough torque for the supply reel when in rewind.

In any case I spent enough time on the Tapeheads forums as well as reading through completed eBay listings to see that is a common and easy to diagnose and fix issue.

I just don't have the time to send it one of the several repair shops that I know whoever is currently reading this knows about.

Thanks for looking and please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thanks!
