I watched all three of your videos on this restoration and truly admire your expertise! You have the hands of a skilled surgeon which is quite fascinating. I just purchased this deck on Ebay and it has apparently been completely refurbished. I can’t wait to test it out! Thanks for such an informative video.
I recently bought a used CT-F 900, and, among other issues, it was affected by the usual reel motor problem (pulley locking always in the same position, voltage going down to 7,3 V, etc..). But I saw that the motor showed a very good torque when fed with the 13V for FF/REW. So, instead of opening it risking damage, I decided to try to increase the voltage during PLAY. I then installed a 47 Ohms resistor in parallel with the existing 30 Ohms one on the motor supply circuit dedicated to PLAY function. And guess what... problem solved!!!. I hope my experience may be useful for old deck lovers! Cheers from Italy and thank you very much for your video.
Excellent video and thank you for your amazing effort on rebuilding the take up motor. Super job👍👍

Will it not burn the motor by over voltage?
Yes, it will eventually cook the winding. Either do it right or don't do anything. Don't gypsy around with resistors.@@redbishop71
Dumbest thing I read. Way to cook your windings. Motor is not designed to run continuously with the same voltage like winding.
Hai fatto un lavoro perfetto,il CT-F950 SE LO MERITA,bravissimo.
Tenho um com problema no circuito de gravação, vai ser trampo rs
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho amigo, Deus te abençoe!
