Akai GXC 715D Manual Stereo Cassette Deck HiFi Engine

Hi pelagic
The motor is probably faulty. The heat is a give away for that. Many motors for older decks can still be sourced. Can you see what part numbers may be on the back plate of the motor and I can find a source for you. Awaiting your reply
regards

It could be head dirt, bad switches, broken head wire or electronics problem. A Technician or you if you know electronics will need to get into it further to find where the problem is. There si no magic wand except some alcohol and a Q tip if the heads are dirty.

Clean switches, check head wiring if it is a three head deck and then there could be bad relay contacts, defective electrolytic capacitors and even a malfunction in a muting circuit. That is why there are no easy answer but to get in with a scope and find out where the signal stops.
