This end of tape device is very reliable and needs very little service unless it gets sticky. Much more reliable than the photo-optic system on my Revoxes. One tiny shot of lube should do it. Work it in. More than one shot sends spray everywhere. I use an eye-dropper to control the amount of lube. Cheap and available at Walmart.

Just fixed mine today thanks to your video thank you so much you and one other guy really helped me posting these videos 👍👍👍

Thanks! I'm actually the original owner. Hasn't really been used that much in past 25 years or so, but I wanted to get it working properly so I could transfer my tape collection to digital files.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE NOW THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL TRY YOUR TECHNIQUE.

Exactly what I need to my RT-707... Thank you so much! :)

I bought a 701 today at estate sale, wanted one for 40 years or so. It has a different problem but I'm watching all the repair videos now. You used deoxit d5 as cleaner? Got any recommendations for lube oil. Thanks for the video.

Congrats! That's a great deck! I used light-weight sewing machine oil, but it depends on what parts you're lubricating.

@@litzdog911Wow, near zero response time. Sewing oil is what I'd use, thanks for the confirmation. Everything works except pinch tire is now a slick. I'll get another and see what's on the 8 reels that came with the deck. Thanks for the video and the reply.

So I cleaned some parts using deoxit as you did, worked great. Now I'm replacing pinch roller tire. I have the tire mostly cut off. Any suggestions on removing the last little tire bits from the hub.

Craig, did you get the tire off? I bought complete pinch rollers off ebay for my Pioneer and Teac reel to reel, they were really reasonable.

Hey, I have the Pioneer Rt- 701, I take the cover over once a year and blow the dust out and deoxit the pots, do I need to oil the motor? I not sure where the oil would go in the motor? I put a few drops in Teac 3300-10 motors, it showed it in the owner's manual where is goes, it has a small plastic tube where the oils goes.

If it's not a secret, what did you use to lubricate this mechanism?
