Hi everyone I’m having a trouble with my Akai Gx-77 seems the tape counter is not working sometimes ,I see from forums that there is a little plastic paddle that operates the counter , is that paddle supposed to spin freely , my deck will shut off after a couple seconds in play or ff rew when that paddle does work the machine will keep playing ,, will a slipping or worn capstan belt cause this , I would really appreciate someone’s help as this is getting so frustrating
