Where is the rewind on this cassette player? - Audio Players & Recorders

If your Realistic VR632HF cassette player is loading tapes but none of the functions like play or rewind are working, it may be a mechanical or electrical issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: Check the belts: The drive belts that operate the cassette mechanism can become worn or stretched over time. Open the cassette player and check the belts for signs of wear or damage. If they are loose or damaged, replace them. Clean the heads: Over time, the tape heads can become dirty or magnetized, which can affect the sound quality or cause the cassette to not play at all. Use a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol to gently clean the tape heads. Check the electrical connections: Make sure all of the connections inside the cassette player are clean and secure. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in the connectors, causing poor performance or even complete failure. Check the motor: If the cassette player is not rewinding or fast-forwarding, it may be a problem with the motor. Check to see if the motor is running when you attempt to rewind or fast-forward a cassette. If it is not, it may need to be replaced. If these troubleshooting steps do not solve the issue, it may be a more complex problem that requires professional repair.

It is problem in Take-up Reel section and its not sending signal to processor. How old is this unit?

Check the belts, inside the unit you should see a rubber belt which is what pulls the tape fast forward or rewind. Some belts with time get loose and slip, they can also break and fall off which will not let you fast forward or rewind.
Open your cassette player and look where the plastic pulleys are located and check for the belts, they might not be broken at all but very loose and slip on the plastic pulley.
