Any  of you ever had this on a tron: mechanical whine when playing a key?The  
pinchroller of the key is rolling perfectly,and the tape makes no contact  
with the tape guides,as far as I can tell.This mechanical artifact comes  thru 
on the audio output for some reason.Any  ideas?



My old EMI used to squeak on one note. This was caused by the pad arm being  
bent incorrectly or by a gorilla adjusting it.
 
Squeak was removed during the Streetly rebuild along with a whole load of  
other problems.
 
I wonder what happened to that machine...
