Won't play Panasonic Microcassette Transcriber Model #RR-930. This is the 2nd one I have purchased because of the same problem. It will rewind and fast forward but not play. Not sure if worth fixing and if not is there another model you would recommend.

SOURCE: Panasonic RR-830 only rewinds and fast-forwards, will not play

If the foot pedal is pluged in, press the play button and then you should be able to activate it with the pedal.

There is a rubber drive belt that needs to be replaced, Panasonic part RDV101YA. This place says they have them:

I've never had to work on one of these so I can't say exactly what you might have to remove to get to the old belt and pulleys it rides on. But it's usually not too bad of a job to change a belt.

SOURCE: It won't play, rewind or

Most likely the belt is broken or has jumped off. This requires some major disassembly, but the belts can be purchased for about $2. If the belt is okay, then check motor leads, they often break off.

If neither rewind nor backspace work, the common problem would be that the solenoid grease has dried up and the solenoid is not retracting all the way. However, the track that the mechanism moves in also wears out, as well as the plastic rocker that depresses the rewind button where it engages the metal slide.

If backspace works but not rewind from the pedal then the problem is the pedal.
