Nakamich RX-505 Question

I have a beautiful RX-505 that plays back perfectly. However, it won't flip the tape around. The drawer opens, the tape flips half way, and then stops and returns back to where it started. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

My RX-505 flips again with ease ! Maybe due to more often play nowadays. I think it simply likes to be played.

Hello, My RX-505 plays fine but can´t flip. It´s probably a mechanical issue, a worn gear wheel perhaps.
The sound is quite amazing, it´s much better than digital IME: my 40+ years old c-cassettes outperform modern 24 bits digital in dynamics (musicality) but have more distortion although not intrusively. Digital is still dull after 30 years, it is progressing in tremendous velocity though.
Glad to meet another Nakamichi UDAR lover.
