There is an idler wheel behind the platen ( black plate behind the cassette)..replace the idler wheel.

Very likely the tape is wound around the capstan.
You may have to get at it by taking the unit's case off.
If I am right you might have to destroy the cassette unless you are very careful. Or, at least, have to cut the tape so as to unwind it from the capstan.
You could also try to open the door just enough to lift it up and off ... as if you were going to clean the tape heads.

The solution from AlecBrown133 above fixed the same problem for me. The only comment that I would add is that the same repair can be done with a normal rubber band. I used one to fix the same issue with my Denon drr-m30 and it is significantly cheaper than the 10 pound option.

It is common after all this time to have pinch roller linkage not moving and I was even doing them in the 80's when at the factory service. If the Pinch roller does come up and is free to move then the next item would be the capstan belt. Check to see if the motor remains turning. If it stops then either it needs oil or a new motor run capacitor. The model was one from the early parts of the 70's. May have also been around at the Vietnam war exchanges. That is a lot of years to have parts on.
