Default Re: Grundig tk 23 L speed issue

I would just like to point out that an idler wheel will have no effect on tape speed. That depends on the motor speed, the ratio of any gears or belt pulleys in the drive system and the diameter of the capstan.

It's time for the OP to measure how much tape passes the head in say 30 seconds.
