Hi! Regarding the issue with rewind, try to clean the pads on the T shape lever and the tension band. I clean mine with soap and warm water and let them dry overnight. Also re the DDS 3 tape I read on the forums that should not be used because the tape is very thin and stress the mechanism. Only DDS 1 of 60 meters (120 minutes) you can use. The reason why its stopping at 2 hours is probably because the end of tape marker is set. You can try to erase it.
