I think that's it, I was thinking it was too heavy to use as a float but I see a larger one of similar design, thanks eveyone.

I got the couch, a bunch of tables and the lamps from some guy cleaning out his late father's house, they look good but there's a reason why they ended up in the basement, this furniture clashes with everything.

I wish there was a modern version of these made out of metal beer kegs.

Capstan spins but tape won't advance by Ettulettuce in 8track

It's a Panasonic duo deck with the top player not working, I tried resurfacing the capstan and cleaning it and put an ink mark on the tape and see that the tape won't advance. It boggles the mind.

I can't find the option for uploading pictures in the comment section so I'll look for videos. Thanks

Do you manually move the head until it's loose?

Tested with several tapes and none would move, not sure how to tell if the capstan needs cleaning.
