When the tape is loaded (which sometimes works and sometimes gets stuck halfway through and auto-ejects) the player does nothing. Pressing the play button does nothing. The screen sits at Auto.
Hitting the power button gets the tape to play for a few seconds, as the video shows, but then it dies and goes back to Auto.
The stop/eject button works and ejects the tape properly (sometimes).
It looks and sounds like some gears are stuck, but I cannot identify which ones or how to fix it.
The noise is the motor continuing to spin even though nothing is moving.
