I've fixed the copicat head temporarily with the help of several very small blobs of Blu-tac which at least allows me to playback. The head is not very good quality either but it will do until something better comes along. It was playing a touch slow though, half a tone to be precise, which turned out to be the erase head pressure pad. A little tweak with the pliers and it's now back at normal speed so I can play along on my guitar in the right key now!
