RCA 8-track, GE & Magnavox radios with cassette players

The GE and Magnavox just had mechanical issues with the cassette players. Both needed belts. But the Magnavox also had gears that were broken. I got the GE working last night, for the Magnavox I was able to find a replacement for the gear it needed to play tapes, but not the one it needs to fast forward. So it will play, but only either rewind or fast forward (depending on which side of the tape you are on).

The RCA 8-track will me my last electronics repair this break before I move on to working on the Lincoln. Like I said in my other thread, 1 channel is dead - I can hear static but no sound. Actually, this looks like it will play quad tapes even though it only has 2 built-in speakers. I haven't checked the rear channels yet.
