hello,
well it seem your mechanic problem. i have similar problem and i solved it.
first see the mechanical work, when the tape is insert it, see the drum head, is the drum is spinning? if not mean your flex cable in the top of your head drum may damage. or try to reconnect it.
if the drum head is spinning its mean capstan doesn't work, your problem is in here. try to change your capstan part.

if there still problem, i can help you freely just email me at [email protected]
or you need manual service i can share with you

thanks

Head

hello,
showing error c:31 mean your camera have defective mechanic, which one contain error? well, to make sure your problem try to inserting cassette and see the mechanical work:
1. when tape is insert it, before reel try to raising the tape, head will spin first.
2. after head is spinning then the tape will load

if your problem is in no 1 the head drum doesnt spinning, try to check the flex cable the top section of the head.
if head drum is spinning its mean your capstan is broken, try to change with a new one

thanks
