I picked this one up at a local Goodwill store. I had no idea it was Panasonic made until i got it home to put a tape in it, and heard the mechanical parts in it, and said to myself, this is has got to be a Panasonic made machine. I did a research and sure enough. I ended up ruining the original guides, due to not having the proper tool to adjust them, luckily i have a couple of parts machines. The rollers were nicked up and causing the tape to not run smoothly, making the symptoms i mentioned in my last post. I gave up on the damn thing, ive been adjusting so much and now the guides screw in too easy making it hard to adjust. I dont have the glue or anything to make them have a tighter grip.

I find Panasonic machines in these thrifts, very commonly. I'm sure they will start disappearing eventually.
