Hi Roger, Are you sure PV7450 and not PV4750? It sounds a great deal like the clutch/idler assembly problem or clutch belt. Use a view-thru cassette and see if the idler is making good contact with the supply and take-up reels in each of the different modes. I'd bet that upon loading the tape, and beginning to play, the take-up reel isn't spinning and the sensor below the take-up reel halts that action after sensing no movement. Then, ejecting, the idler gear isn't making good contact with the supply reel to take the tape back into the cassette before ejecting the tape. At least from what you've explained. If this is it you might think about ordering a complete tune-up kit for it, for a PV4750 it's a VMK-177 over at Studio Sound http://www.iglou.com/studiosound/ Hope this helps.
