Akai MG1212 woes

Today I picked up a used MG1212 locally. It looked good, and except for some noisy faders was in otherwise good condition. Took it home and started to test out the recording features and mixer. Everything was fine until about 45 minutes in when the tape decided to randomly eject. I shrugged it off at first and hit the stop button to lower the tape back in. It lowered the tape down, waiting about 6 seconds as it moved the roller, moved the roller back and popped the tape tray back up. It came up at 3/4s of the way and then went back down, repeating the process again. Sometimes it will stay up and others times it will go up and down as much as it feels like. I really don't know what could have caused this but any suggestion for a solution would be great.
