:(The spring on my tape deck died a long time ago but I think that's basically fine. It's the video output is shafted. I actually have a +2 up there too where I think the tape deck's fucked but the video output is fine. Maybe I should take the two apart and play around with them when I'm staying with my parents over Christmas.

Sounds like the rubber band brokeNo, really. Common failing on the Amstrad drives is the drive belt perishing. Used to be able to get replacement ones on fleabay, if you're interested in fixing it.

Ahh primitive 80's elastic band technology.
