I always find your information useful. Thank you. I have a PortaOne and I can hear the input sound and record to tape, but when I play it back the tape works but the vu meter doesn't move and no sound comes out. Can you give me some advice?
@@PORTA777 thank you, hearing the sound does not mean it's being recorded, check the recording (LED) recording indicator when you press (record) it should converts from blinking to solid, if not, check the micro switch on the end of the cassette housing which is activated by the cassette recording/ safe toung, clean and make sure that it makes contact when inserting the cassette in, Good luck
Thank you for your reply. When I play a tape recorded with Porta One on another mtr, it is recorded, so it seems that the playback function of Porta One is broken. I think it is a mechanical failure, not an operating error. Thank you in advance.
I have a Tascam Porta one that is very clean, looks brand new. It powers on, but the motor doesn't spin. It doesn't seem stuck, it just seems like it isn't getting power. Should I try this repair, or something different?
Mostly motors get stuck due to long time rotation and movment, yes go a head and refurbish it, if you are nor experienced, you can send it to me for full tefurbishment, good luck
@@3rdisland477 Thanks for the reply! What seems weird to me is that the wheel that sticks out of the motor is very easy to turn by hand. Could it still be "stuck" internally?
3rd Island I think it would be best for me to send my machine (or just motor assembly to you). Do you have an email address where we could communicate directly?

Hi, thanks for that great video. I'm trying to repair the control board. Can you tell me what is the part number of the Q1 transitor. Thanks
You can use any 2SBxx transistor with 15 - 30v
Thanks! is there anyone to oil the motor without complete dissembly?
Ah nevermind I saw the last part with the red flask!
You can oil the top bearing only, but not the lower one
Hi, i have a porta one, it works well but it has no audio.. how can i repair? İs it common problem with a transistor or caps?
