Trying to relive my youth and get a working replacement to my favorite toy as a youth. I have two of these now. Both seem to ff/rw fine. If I try to hit play the tape deck seems to engage, but the take up portion is not spinning at all. Both are like this. Is this the plastic issue that I have seen, not sure its the same thing? Can anyone help with this at all? Is there someone that can fix this bad boys?
