Verified nothing is stuck, sprayed down the mechanical switches on the board with contact cleaner, and it still has the same behavior as before. Pressing Play causes a solenoid to engage and push out a tape guide but then said solenoid immediately disengages and the head drum stops turning.
I also notice that trying to play causes the tape to become noticeably less taught, as if the supply reel is supplying more tape but the take-up reel is not taking it up, in addition to the other not playing symptoms.
