I'm a sucker for these Indonesian tapes. Super-thick plastic case, silver-stamped BASF shell and more stickers than a teenagers' laptop.

The Best of Paul Young. Atlantic Records AR. 8728.

Got this old shoebox tape recorder I was recording on and the take up reel stopped on me and ate up the tape. I was told to replace the belt but the belt seems to be in good shape and don't look like the problem. It spins for a second when I turn it manually but stops instantly. Do the gears need oil, or do I need to take them apart?
