Eric, was there a tape on the unit when you tested it? Just wondering if the capstan is controlled by a switch that shuts down at the end of the tape?
KV-1926R, It was a Delco r-1128 wood radio, the speaker came loose and banged around in transit, 2 tubes and a 8" field coil speaker were lost.. Still looking for a speaker or someone who can re-do one
