Welcome aboard, MKF! 
Sometimes, a screeching or squealing cassette could mean the internal record switch is dirty. You will need to open the M70 and spray some DeOxit (or similar product) into the switch to clean it.
Other times, it might be fixed by pushing the REC & PLAY buttons, then STOP, then REC & PLAY, then STOP about 10 times. You will need a recordable cassette to do that.
I would try the button trick first and if that didn't work, then I'd look at the internal record switch.
Somebody else, more knowledgeable on M70s is sure to get in here.

I'm glad to hear that the squeal has been fixed! 
I learned that little trick a long time ago from a member.
There are plenty of members here who have changed belts on the M70, so if you need any help with that, don't hesitate to post.

But I'll bet no one would ever notice the difference and I'll bet you'll sell a TON since almost every member has at least a dozen M70's. Boom Shakalaka is the exception with ONLY 5.Fatdog said:redbenjoe said:They are actually a stiff plastic with rounded notches for the screws.
redbenjoe said:agree with norm --
the plain old common silver m70 --NEEDS some color !!
perhaps thats why we have members painting them
so -- that sticker should be the most popular seller
...I like the M70 in silver but LOVE it in white... 
and blue...
Thanks for the reminder Monchito, I almost forgot...I REALLY love it in gold...monchito said:were is the gold one
...I know...I haven't been able to find one yet in blue...Fatdog said:Hey Mel, you messed up that shot of the white M70 by putting a GREEN reel tape in.
...the one I have has really good original paint so I would never deface it....but I would if it were silver......monchito said:mell that m71 painted in a gold color paint what you think

Painting an M71 that's even in just average condition probably isn't smart since you will have just wiped out the rarity of the M71 and cut it's value (possibly dramatically). An M70 is a far better box to customize, they are far more common than the M71.
