Kootenay,
Interesting, no residue, no screeching sounds, I found a you tube example of the screeching noise and I have nothing like this sound at all, though the example does simulate my slow FF and RW issue, as can be seen in the examples I linked to..

Looking at your videos (very useful), I'd guess now that the belt is stretched, just enough to lose contact when most of the tape is on the take-up reel. Given its age and lack of recent maintenance it certainly is due for a replacement belt.
One of the YouTube videos shows how to replace the belt. Me, I'd leave it up to my tech.
Dave,
thanks for taking a look, appreciate it, would I be able to hear the belt slipping, or anything I could do to further the suspicion? I think I have an extra belt, I'll see what kind of a chore it is to replace it. I am pretty good with vintage (tube) pre-amps and amps, but this is foreign to me, it's not just electronic, it's very mechanical with tons of moving parts. I don't think there is a tech near me that deals with r2r, I am in the Seattle area.
thanks again!!
Sounds like it's time for a do-over proper maintenance by a tech.
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing well
