Thank you Rob, I took cassette cage out and could see the metal wheel was not turning the take-up hub rubber tyre, rubber was smooth and hard. As a temporary measure I turned the tyre inside out and replaced the drive belt as it was also perished. The tape transport works ok now but I have not got round to connecting it to a TV.
I had a nos Tyre but when squeezed it sounded like I was squeezing a packet of crisps! It was covered with cracks. Luckily the only belt I had in the kit was the one I needed.
