I am not familiar with that brand. Do you know who manufactured it?
As far as the EP-LP business, that's likely either the tape is skewing down from the Control Track (CTL) head probably because the pinch roller is worn out, or the CTL head is dirty, or the tape itself is wrinkled along the bottom edge from where the CTL track is recorded on the tape, caused by the tape skewing down against the edge of one of the tape guides. Needs a tune-up!
