Opening up the Sony TCM200 handheld tape recorder to clean the heads and restore functionality. I realized the tape wasn't advancing because the play head was so dirty. A little alcohol on a cue tip did the trick to clean the head.
Stoked to hear how many of you have one of these fun recorders! Tape players are making a big comeback it seems. Saw some Tascam 4 tracks going for hundreds online.
