Panasonic RR-930 does not backspace with or without pedal. It engages the mechanism but appears stuck when tape is inserted. Runs fine without tape in deck.

If it works fine otherwise, I wouldn't spend much time worrying about it.

You might want to clean the heads and the capstan.

There is a switch on under the tape deck that wears out or comes loose. This is something that needs service. We can fax it. 8663219780

Check that the pause switch is off. Otherwise, either the belt is broken or the motor is bab.

Could be a few problems. Sometimes the lube dries up on the solenoid so it is not engaging. Could have the rewind switch on the circuit board broken loose. possibly needs belts as well.

If neither rewind nor backspace work, the common problem would be that the solenoid grease has dried up and the solenoid is not retracting all the way. However, the track that the mechanism moves in also wears out, as well as the plastic rocker that depresses the rewind button where it engages the metal slide.

If backspace works but not rewind from the pedal then the problem is the pedal.

Start by cleaning the capstan roller. The rubber roller and small steel rod just above it, control the tape speed. Just a little lint, build up or animal hair wrapped around this can cause the speed to vary. Clean with alcohol and a Q-tip.

Hello not sure if you referring to the audio when you realize foot control the unit does auto backspace and the short rewind is audible if this is not your problem the unit has a bad motor probably you can send it to repair to this place
