Sounds like you will need to replace the brake band and readjust the tension.
How is back tension adjusted? I only ever found a three position slot for the spring, but all gave too high tension. The screw in the tension band holder is for adjusting the tape tension guide pole position and did not seemingly change the actual tension.
