This happened to me once before and I did get it fixed, but my D8 is doing what the repair guy referred to as the "blankity blank" syndrome, which is where the deck records for 30 seconds and then shuts it self off and then on, usually resulting in the tape being eaten. Can someone please tell me how much this was to get fixed, I can't remember? I want to see if it is even worth it to get it fixed, as I don't do much field recording these days, just local bands and basement jamming. Thanks in advance!
