Today I found the cause of the problem. It turned out to be... the pinch roller cover. The technician before last, who had never repaired tape recorders before, had lost the spacer washers that were supposed to be on the pinch roller axle. As a result, the cover prevented the roller from moving freely and, consequently, the tape from being tensioned correctly and consistently. Truly - the devil lies in the details.
So, dear Tobias, it seems you were right!
However, I haven't run the M5 this new way enough yet to state it definitively, but if there are no problems during rewinding, and the tension problem on the right side occurs only during the working mode (or whatever it is called in English), it's definitely in the pressure roller assembly. But I didn't expect it to be that primitive! The pinch roller cover!
I'll shoot another video tomorrow to show how it (or she?) works now. Would anyone be interested in watching and listening?
