I am catching up on my e-mails so this may have been
answered.
I had the same problem with my 83 tape deck. The belt
that turns the capstan (the tape drive pin) also works the
tape loading mechanism. It is probably stretched out
after sitting unused for a long time.
Replacement belts are still available at any larger audio repair
place. I replaced mine without too much trouble. Just
take your time and you can do it.
