You can undo the four screws on the bottom cover then there are two screws on each corner of the board. You can pivot the board open with the machine upside down you will see the belts the one that goes around a very large flywheel can be turned with the stop key pressed and this should allow the tape loading arms to rectract and after that you can rotate the smaller take up clutch to wind the slack tape into the cassette .

You will have a hard job to purchase a belt kit, but try a Google search.
