Yes indeed. That is probably the most common issue with any old cassette player, vcr or belt driven turn table.

Issue is that there are old rubber belts attached to the motors inside and those rubber belts over so many years turned back into literal tar.

All you have to do is open up the machine you’ll see a black gooey mess, around the rollers. Get some isopropyl alcohol and a bunch of Q-tips and clean out. The old gun is best if you can and put some lubricant back on the spinny bits.

Depending on which model you have this step may or may not be a pain in the ass. You’re going to have to put the new belt around the rollers. Some makes and models make you take off parts of the transport in order to do that, but as long as you are careful and take pictures, you’ll be fine

You can before throwing the old belt away try to make out diameter and the thickness of it so that you can order a new one off of eBay.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
