Another good guess. That wasn't a goof. I wasn't to that point yet. There  
is an ovious assembly mistake in the first photo.

Okay, the retention ring and c-clip are missing from the end  of the 
capstan.

Nope, but you're getting close. The clips are not required for  the machine 
to operate correctly.

It would be much easier to put the headblock on if the W  clips were 
installed first.

That's why I suspected you were  merely being lazy.  So  find the error. 
Hint: Something in the first picture is  wrong. If  you don't look at a 400 a 
lot, you'll not likely see it.  I'm sure Martin saw it right away. It was 
not critical,  but the machine could not work correctly as is  was.


Well, it certainly wouldn't produce much of a signal  without the  
headblock!
