Default Panasonic SG-6000

I have a NOS Panasonic SG-6000. When I powered it up for the first it made a juddering noise around the cassette area and nothing else will play. The cassette doesn't work either. I have turned it off and back on again but nothing has changed. Is there an obvious solution?

More than likely the belts would have failed and require replacing.

Yup, the drive belts have probably turned to jelly and the juddering sound was the capstan belt wrapping itself around the motor pulley. A strip-down and clear out probably in order, followed by a new set of belts.

Thanks. Yes you're right removing the belt has stopped the juddering but the cassette controls permanently stay on play. This overrides all the other functions on the unit. So I can get the record player to function but when I press the button on the front it does not light up and no sound comes from the speakers. Im happy for the cassette not to work as I only want it for the deck. I have the manual but it's not got any info about the electronic functions.
