Eric the recorder works again. Thanks for the info. The recorder works the same as you explained! I followed your discription step by step and was able to see where the problem was. It was a mechanical problem. The problem was a small spring (hidden under other parts near the front of the recorder). On one side it is connected to a metal part and on the other side to plastic which had broken. The spring pulls the loading gear to the main motor gear. Untill the tape reaches the bottom of the housing. I've made a small point-like incisition in the plastic where the spring is now connected.Thanks again.
