Mark, these jvc chassis have problems with their mode select switch, probably what happened is the mode switch shut the load motor off prematurely and caused the tape to get hung up on the takeup arm(the darkish grey one in front of the ac head)these usauly brake) when the customer removed the tape they caused the mech to become misaligned. This is a very common falure. Clean the mode switch with a pencil ereaser well and follow up with some alchohol. This should prevent this one from comming back. Good luck. MIke.
