My first sony cassette and radio player - one head is not turning, new in box

Gets some rubbing alcohol and a some Q-Tips, clean all rollers, spindles, and playback record head, plus the erase head and allow several minutes to dry. If there is no improvement! the erase head is bad or the record section of the main head is faulty.

Radio Shack is the only store that carries a variety of antenna's, but not sure if they still do.

No, it has neither a microphone or any inputs.

Take the item to your local tv repair store, and I would suggest an estimate.

hello im a tech at a sony svc center and should the laser be weak and not just dusty a repair would be impractical as our labor is 90$ before the part cost.. from the picture it looks like a top loader in which case you could manually clean the laser with a simple q-tip---gently in a circle clean the lens dry q-tip no liquid .. also does it fail with different discs? if only with one that disc might be scratched ,dirty etc..

Bought a new Sony Radio

Problem solved by trying another set of headphones.
Thanks anyway.

Mode switch trouble! no audio from cassette function?

Does it happen when playing cassette or radio? might have a problem with the speaker wires.
