What you have here is a single direction, 3 head tape deck. The
capstans should both go the same way. If not, you have a capstan belt
on incorrectly. Try it.

BTW, the protrusion on the LH pinch roller is a tape guide to ensure
the tape is fed to the pinch/capstan perfectly straight. In some
models of more elaborate decks which had both 3 heads AND
autoreverse, I'm sure i recall having seen it used as the erase head!
