Some times the battery contact need to be pulled out a little bit. they are located down inside the battery compartment. You can stick a small screwdriver under the battery contact and bend it upward for better contact.

Sometimes this screw loosens up and then the ground is lost to the entire unit

Tape players need maintenance often. You have to replace the belt, clean the rubber roller with Rubber Renue, put grease on the odd spot and clean the head by rubbing clean white paper on it. Any electrical contacts like a volume switch etc need a contact spray to remove oxides etc. This should be done every 5 years or even more often if used more often.
