content: Page 30 of this PDF has a very basic schematic, and pp 2-3 describe things:http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/teac/MT-2ST/MT2ST_UR1991_11.pdfDon’t be put off by the URL, the document itself says it’s for the MT-2.

content: Sorry to resurrect an old post. I have a Cristie CS6 unit that uses the mechanism that the OP posted about. The company has a CS5 unit on their website history page and it was made in about 1981. I might dig further too, so thanks for the links, everyone.

content: oops, correct URL wasftp://ftp.dreesen.ch/Teac/Teac_MT2_user_manual.pdf( upper case T...)I have 2 MT2 units, one has a totally hardened capstan roller, the other capstan roller was totally mushy. I replaced both with 3D printed rollers, using innoflex as filament. Yet to try out as I did not yet finish my program to control the MT2.Similar printed capstan rollers for QIC drives worked out OK.Jos
