Hello -
I have the below-mentioned tape deck which I've used very little in the past six-or-so years. Recently, when I tried to play a cassette, the machine wouldn't run. It displayed some lights but the tape wouldn't move. After a few seconds, the play arrow would go out. When I tried to remove the tape, the door wouldn't open.
After opening up the case I was able to release the latch and remove the cassette. Everythiing looked good inside: the belts and rollers looked fresh... nothing that I could notice looked amiss.
I've just noticed on ebay that some one is selling a machine just like mine with what sounds like the same symtoms:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's given me years of good service and I would like to continue using it from time to time.
Thanks, in advance.

- Thank you for your advice.
The belt does indeed seem to be slipping. I'll try to clean as you suggested. I think I also got grease on the belt and pulley as I poked around. It is quite tight in there.
How would you suggest changing the belts, and where do you buy them? Do you completely disassemble the drive mechanism?
Thank you, in advance, for your reply.
David
