 Recently i have been having problems with my 410.after saving a program on the
tape,i find that the pinch roller has left a mark on the tape where the tape had stopped.if i try to load the program again and it fails to load first time,
 another mark if left on the tape where the recorder stopped,causing the loading procedure to fail every time.also rewinding the tape seems to cause marks to 
 appear all over the place.any suggestions.(i can't afford a  disc drive at the
 moment.
                                thanx
