Motor Speed Test - Tape Player

A 2-minute time period is marked in this section of tape for the purpose of inspecting the cassette tape motor speed. This portion of the diagnostic tape can be used to verify complaints of abnormal sound from the cassette tape player. In some cases, improper tape motor speed can cause audio abnormalities. If the time taken for the motor speed test is between 116-121 seconds, the tape motor speed is within tolerance.
