Problem with Tascam cassette recorder... help please

[fuze87]

A good 4 years ago when I started getting into music and recording, I bought the Tascam MF-P01 as a starter device to hook up to my mixer. Well over the years it has basically just been sitting in the box only being used a few times when it was first purchased.

The other day I decided to break it out and record some stuff and to my dismay, it will not record or playback any tapes that I have. The input and everything is working because I can hear myself with a mic plugged in, so im pretty sure its just the tape player.

Can anyone help me out or offer some advice because I am just completely lost at this point.

Would love to get this working.

Thanks!
