Hello,
Your pressing stone is dirty and sticking to the ribbon, you'll need to clean it with alcohol.

Hello,
It doesn’t make us any younger, but if we look at the drive shafts of the cassette, we notice that the left one is turning while the right one remains still. There's no chance that the tape is being driven under these conditions. Both shafts need to turn and at the same speed. On this type of device, this was achieved by a belt (or gears, but you would hear it if they were broken), which must have broken (normal wear of rubber on equipment of this age).
We should still be able to find the part at Philips service centers, or alternatively test a rubber of the same dimensions and shape (round? flat?). Check other Philips tape recorders.
In any case, the device needs to be disassembled (if one has some dexterity). It’s far from being as delicate as a laptop, but it’s best to take photos at each step and place the screws on a printed page of those photos for reassembly.
I’m used to finding extra screws, and in that case, I decide they’re useless, but that’s not an example to follow.
