When I start to record or play back a little picture pop's up and it start's to eat the tape. I have never cleaned it would that help? I know when I play it back if it is fast forwarding or rewinding it wont do it.

It sounds as if the takeup spool isn't doing it's job. It could be caused by a slipping belt or slipping clutch assembly. Unless you know your way around the unit (internally) I'd advise a repair shop have a look at it.
