Default Cassette Deck not functioning correctly

I picked up from Ebay a cassette deck. It is a 2 head, 2 motor full
logic controlled deck. The front panel was damaged a bit during
shipping and it requires manually prying the door open while pressing
the 'eject' button to load/unload tapes. It is a microcassette unit.
When you select Play the heads come up and the tape advances for a
split second but does not take up any slack. When you select ff/rew
you can hear the motor start to turn but no movement from either of
the reels and the deck will sense this and will stop.

I took the cover off and both belts are intact and seem to work fine
when their respective functions are engaged. One seems a wee loose
but not enough to make too much of a difference I don't think. What
could the trouble be? Is it something more involved than just belts?
I remember having a Mitsubishi cassette deck and it had a similar
problem. On most 2-motor cassette decks what is the function of the
individual motors.....the capstan and take up reels?


thanks
Luke

Have you contacted Olympus for assistance?
