Thanks mate Ok time to open the recorder up and give it a good cleaning I guess and check belts etc

Hi I tried 3 different tapes and cleaned the heads Would a bad tape cause the test to pop up ? But I will try the other sides as suggested Many Thanks

Hello I bought an Atari 65XE and when I switch it ok, it comes up READY...so seems OK When I switch it on and Press Option and Start to load a tape and press return it all seems to be going fine (makes the screeching loading noises etc) But After a while it comes up with a self test ??? So is this a faulty Cassette Unit ?? thanks in advance
