Nakamich RX-505 Question

I have a beautiful RX-505 that plays back perfectly. However, it won't flip the tape around. The drawer opens, the tape flips half way, and then stops and returns back to where it started. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Dear Tonykay: My 700ZXL needs a tune-up. How pricey is the work of W.Hermann? Thank you.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Sorry, Raul, but I haven't revisited this thread in a long time. You can contact Willy at [email protected]. Good luck. He's reasonable.

My RX-505 flips again with ease ! Maybe due to more often play nowadays. I think it simply likes to be played.

Harold,

The flipper mechanism on my RX-505 got jammed recently as I left it on continuous loop and closed the cabinet door so it was unable to flip the cassette. I took it to Willy and he played with it for a minute and got it working, much to my relief. He claimed it was a simple fix. I told him he was a genius.
