Replaced all 3 belts. Play and rewind buttons don't stay down. Rewind doesn't work well even with new belt.
I have advised people before that replacing belts is not the only answer and sometimes people that are not experienced can upset some part of the deck without knowing it. We don't yet know the model or brand of the unit and from the description this kind of points to a Piano key or lever key type deck. I could also be a cam system deck. This complaint of buttons not staying down would not apply to a tack switch or solenoid type transport.
Like Jerry says a visit to a good Tech is the answer. I have been doing tape decks for 40 years and have worked at Sony and Teac service shops. If you need my help let me know. I am near Chicago.
SOURCE: Cassette Recorder play problem
Left(Playback) deck of cassette player turns off within about 2 sec's after inserting a cassette to play. Rewind and Fast Forward stop also after about 1 to 2 seconds. When pushing button to play it turns back off right away. I suspect the end of tape/tension sensor is the culprit but do not know where it is. Have not taken any steps except finding this site first off!
SOURCE: play button no response fast forward and rewind work
THE capstain belts need changing to operrate the tape lifter mechanism

Hi...
From being a Pro-tech and working on these and other like them I'd say it's the main belt+ idler wheel that has worn out.
Very challenging job to do..Like knightstar7 said
SOURCE: Akai X-360 Reel to Reel won't play
The Akai X-360 will not function if the remote control or the remote dummy plug is not plugged in to the back of the machine. The remote Dummy plug has two jumpers for completing the circuit paths for the relays so that the front panel buttons will function.
Testimonial: "Thank you Alfredjparks! After buying a second unit for parts I noticed it had the remote plug and bingo it worked! You were spot on! J."

It needs a new rubber belt for the mechanism control.
It is a smallest of th 3 rubber belts.

If the solenoids are tripping the button controls, this is either a bad sensor, or there is improper operation of the reels or capstan drive. It is also possible that the drive circuits to the reel motors or solenoid control are not working properly. An experienced service tech who knows tape decks should be able to service this for you.
