Belts for any deck can be obtained from Marrs Communications in TX but if you now the size and width they can also be had cheaper from Consolidated Electronics in OH.
That wheel that is on the capstan you remove the longer belt from the motor and the lever the capstan flywheel so that you can reach the pulley on the flywheel fit the belt over and the push the capstan back by pushing the little plastics retainer rings back into position. This is a very common mechanism and if you cannot obtain a belt then take your original belt and go to a shop that do hydraulic o ring and get an o ring that is the same size it is NOT necessary to get a square belt as round belts are plenty full and quite cheap I have tape recorders that run more than ten years with o rings
I am not famailiar with this deck model but if you know the brand name you might be able to search for the belt at Marr Communications where Fred sells belt kits. http://marrscommunications.com/
This is the end-of-tape signal. Try turning the cassette over. If this does'nt work then there is no tape drive due to the belt coming loose or breaking.
Most likely cause here is a broken drive belt. This machine is at least ten years old. The belts for the latest model (381) will fit, but it's a tricky job to fit.
