Default Hitachi TRQ-291 Cassette recorder

Hi all
Anyone familiar with these old Hitachi cassette recorders? We had one when I was a kid in the early 70's that the whole family used. I recently picked one up in good condition at a car booty but the play key will not stay down. It uses some weird mechanism that I can only describe like a worm gear and spinning fan type thing? any ideas what the problem might be and where I can source belts/pulleys etc ?
thanks all
