Fostex R8 12 pin plug cable to connectors from the remote These always seize up so

These always seize up so before going for them put some WD40 or some other penetrating oil

There are 4 motors in the Fostex R8 two for the FF and REW one for the main capstan and this little one which engages the capstan gears and lifts the tape lifter

then they fly along

I have a lot of headaches with Fostex pcb switches

Fostex R8 12 pin plug cable to connectors from the remote These always seize up soThis has to be one the most difficult plugs to find and it seems it was made by Fostex for Fostex, probably they wanted to make it difficult to use any other connector so you would buy their extension leads.

This is only the PLUG its not an extension lead , but you could use this with the panel
