sorry cant help but good to see you around buddy

Paul, I wrote a guide for this problem. You basically need to take that peice out and degrease clean it so it is totally free of any particles etc. I had the same problem and was lucky to have another deck to replace that cog with a spare, which made it work perfectly after but a good clean will help.

From the reverse you can unclick the cog holder and give both pieces a good thorough cleaning.

I'll find the post and post it up.

Hi chris,i'm doing ok,my medication has been changed and its made me feel alot better,they are kind of "You no longer dont give a crap pills" lol

Yes mate it has a seperate motor for rew/ff and i think the motion of the motor is supposed to throw the cog accross but it kinda just hangs about in the middle,then slowly goes accross,not sure if its worn or something mate..

Paul, hope this helps...

 

MANUFACTURER: Toshiba
MODEL: RT-S932 (wireless remote control)
TYPE OF ISSUE: Tape Deck functions
SYMPTOMS: Deck will not always FF/REW or Play
FIX: A thorough cleaning (simple I know)
COMMENTS: This deck is not like others and has a motor that engages a cog which moves about 2mm onto each idler wheel.
IMAGES

Here is a picture of the deck.



You can see in the picture below that the centre cog between the two idlers has a tiny movement to make it engage one of the two idlers. Here there is a little bit of grease around the cogs which is ok but I think part of the issue was some grease and dirt inside the bracket which actually hindered the movement.



This is the same picture but with some clues as to what is what.



After removing the two screws to free the motor beneath you can then get at the plastic piece where the cog attaches to with three small movable clips. Pushing the clips inwards releases the cog from the front of the deck.



The cog and the hole in the deck where it goes were given a thorough cleaning with a degreaser and put back together. This made the deck function a whole lot better and touch wood has not had the same issue yet.

good paul glad your ok  as docs has said give it all a good clean then i am sure it will be ok ,    i have a few hi fi tape decks with similar set up and a good clean up does the trick the torque of the motor swings it one way the the other for rw/fw .

thank you for the images dave,i'm just about to have a go at this now,i will let you know how it goes,i love this radio,its top quality..but this rewind/ff idea from toshiba is a bit of a daft one,i would have prefered a belt..that way you just change it and bobs yer T-pot lol..

Thanks to you chris also..

Have to thank you two for helping me on this,and big thank you dave for your pictures and guide,i used your guide and i stripped it down,i gave it a good clean,it was actually easier than i thought it would be,i dabbed abit of oil on it after i cleaned it..it was a bit sticky still at first but the more i used it the better its got,it only sticks every now and then on rewind,but if i press stop and press rewind again it works,but its a thousand times better than when i first got it,they did'nt work at all..

i bought it from a jamaican woman,she said she had'nt used it for years,when i got home it had some D-cell batteries in the back,they looked like brand newi looked at the exp date,it said 2002 lol..

 

Here it is all together again..these are a pretty special radio..

Yeh, at first it looks daunting but it is pretty straight forward.

These rate in the best for this size box and are super sounding.

Glad you got it sorted, lovely jubbly !
