The heads look worn to me!
Remember that if the record head is worn less signal will be put to tape and again if the replay heads are worn they will loose sensitivity.
Other than mechanical faults the Wem Copycat is very reliable (heads excluded) I've done many of these over the years. I'd suggest you try and obtain at least a new record head and one replay head initially and test.
Incidentally my late brother in law was in a big Edinburgh band for many years and his copycat needed new heads every three or four years due to head wear
