I had a much earlier model with the same deck. Now long lost.
I did brake a spring and was able to salvage one form a single speed version.
The opposite happened with a broken spring so that the reel spun on and threw tape all over the place as the motor slowed down after pressing stop.
The reel tables have a felt ring in them. Take the reel table apart and check for belt goo contamination of the felt or some other problem in it causing the clutch to snatch.
