There are many people running those units on taperssection... Go look

An afterthought...
Mike's report suggests that the problem might not be unique to my
machine. One hunch to test out is... are these freeze-ups more likely
to happen when the power is switched off without first hitting the
"stop" button, no matter what mode the unit is in? I'll try a few
scenarios. Would one or two others with these decks be willing to do
the same?
