As old as these type of tapes are...need I say more. If you determine it is the tapes & not the player, the case can be slit in half (top & bottom) & 're-wound' by hand. This loosens the tension & it would be a good idea to clean out some accumulated dirt. If it is the player, there are cleaning solutions avaliable but alchol & Q-tips work well. Clean the head(s), rollers & capstan. The head(s) on them are also adjustable. This involves taking the cover off, connecting to a 12 VDC power supply with speakers connected, inserting the tape & adjusting the head as the tape is playing. This may also increase the volume.
