I am having trouble with an old cassette player.
I am trying to transfer old cassettes onto my computer.
While the feeding spool is turning the receiving spool
is not. Consequently the tape start going all over
the inside of the player. What is the likely reason for this
Thanks in advance.

**Why do people insist on NOT including brand and model numbers with this
kind of inquiry?
Do you honestly imagine that ALL cassette players are identical mechanically
and electrically?
Anyway, the likely fault is one of the following (depending on the specific
mechanism):
* Idler is faulty and requires cleaning/replacement.
* Belt is loose and requires replacement.
* A motor is low on torque.
* Motor control system requires adjustment.
* Et al.
