Checking the internet there is one on eBay in Australia, same reported problem re tape transport if I read the sellers comment correctly. Maybe there is a worn or stretched belt or drive. I presume the batteries need to be high power zinc cells rather than alkaline or rechargables. There is also a variable speed control, maybe there is a resistance problem with that.
