ff is slow, belts should be changed, have the site with the belts as well as the tools to handle belts easier, they are cheap, also have the youtube link that shows you how to change belts , not that hard. The only thing broke is I dropped the outer cassette cover and broke off 1 side, you can still put the tape in and put the cover on or just ebay for it may be 15/20 dollars, price is $150 firm, spend another $50 and all is fixed
