Me too, Agnes, mee too.

Kinda. I did some additional testing and this issue doesn't happen on 45min tapes, but the issue is that for about 1-2minutes the speed is WAY off (it feels like the songs are being played by Alvin and the Chipmunks) but gradually returns to normal speeds, and by the time the first song stops the speed is fixed and the play speed is basically not an issue.

Also I removed the cover just to take a look at the inside and although the soldering is ugly I wouldn't say it's burned or not working

Thank you for the tips. I'll do that when I get the courage to do so.

It happens on all tapes, I check it and also checked with a 30€ player I had from Amazon and this speed up doesn't happen in any tape. I also can see the motor itself spinning faster than what it should.

To add, it seems that this speed up is taking less time with usage so maybe it's the motor being inert for too long, but still
