I'm trying to fix the stuck tape transport in a Philips N4416 reel to reel from 1972. // Kindly sponsored by my favorite PCB manufacturer PCBWay! pcbway.com

Philips N4416 Service Manual (English):
elektrotanya.com/hfe_philips_n4416_service_en.pdf/download.html

Side note: There are several versions of the service manual floating around, the German variant I found is much shorter than the English and Dutch ones, I think it is an incomplete scan.
