record player

hi I have a sharp vz 2000 the problem I have is that I changed all the belts in the unit, and now plays like it should, but it won't record anymore, do I have to put everything back like the two half's as I've only tried it through headphones and tried to record from the radio ive left it in two...

Added this mint Sharp VZ-2500 to my collection today. Looks great with a picture disc. Sound quality is not superb. Lack of bass. But okay.
