Hi,
Tape players have several rubber belts in it and if we do not use them frequently belts loosen and become useless and they need to be replaced... .
To accomplish this however you need some sort of handy man ability..
Take out the metal cover of the player by removing the screws on the
sides .after removing the cover you can access the tape head /transport
mechanism.
if you look carefully to underneath of tape transport you will see the motor unit which belts will be there...check the belts for the moving mechanism and make sure
the belts are not loosen / worn out or broken .
You can replace it with a new one that may available in radio Shack
stores.
Take care..and let me know if it does not work out..

You put a tape in and press PLAY or >.
Cheaper cassette decks usually use a common motor to drive the capstan and the reels (through glorified rubber bands). As they age they stretch or slip and the take-up is fails to take up the tape efd by the capstan. Sensors usually detect the non-rotation and halt everything before much tape is fed out, lest you end up destroying your tape.
If the tape won't Fast Forward , or won't Rewind one or both of the reel drive belts is slipping. This class of equipment falls into the Not Economically Repairable category, but you could ask a local fiit guy if he'll take a look at it.
One other thing you could do is CLEAN the transport. It may be so glommed uo with crud that the tape is sticking to the head or capstan. Use a search engine to find out "how to clean a cassette deck".
