The problem is in the idler assembly that runs the machine, in your case you have partial control. The problem is in the third wheel that has a rubber belt around it, the belt developes a glaze look cauing it slip when it comes in contact with the play function, to correct this! a cleaning attempt can be done, but in truth I would get a service technician, he will want to change one or two parts to rectify the situation especially when the machine must be reliable.

    The play button is famous for wearing out before any other button. Fastest way to fix this is to spray compressed air below the button rest point to remove any and all debris build up. If you still experience problems please follow up

Won`t Rewind

Do you still have the remote control? Try with the remote. If this works, the button of the camera is broken and have to be replace by a qualified technician. Good luck!

Sony bm-147

The unit will need service. The reel that is on the right is pulling the tape to hard. There is a clutch system that needs service.
