Hi Dan,
 
With the tape frame in the storage position, the tapes should be just under 
 tension.  If the are not, pull the tapes up from the frame end and NOT the 
 rear tape clamp bar as this would adjust the 'start' position also.  Black 
 and Brown tapes sound like Ampex stock and they should be hurled away as  
soon as possible as it is impossible to get a good adjustment(what we call  
good!) with that formulation.  
 
Best,
 
Martin
