He said it is a mechanical failure in the tape drive which prevented it from spinning correctly. The repairs totaled $191.00. Upon bringing the unit home and powering it up, I discovered that that tape inside the unit had been recycled from an old reel to reel piano recording (you can still faintly hear the original piano recording which doesn't quite fully erase as they pass over the erase heads.) I'm told that putting the wrong tape in the unit can cause unusual wear and tear. The unit worked for about an hour and then the tape stopped spinning.
I've spent about $1,100 on the purchase, shipping, and repairs but still don't have a functioning unit as your listing promised. Are you able to cover the total cost to fix the unit ($190 plus whatever additional repairs need to be done now)? If so, I will box it up and take it back to the shop for additional repairs. If not, I will ship the unit back to you and ask that you cover the shipping costs as well as the repair costs incurred thus far. Please let me know how you wish to proceed..
申し訳ありません。「191ドルかかるそうです」を「191ドルかかりました」に訂正いたします。よろしくお願いいたします。
