Hopefully these pictures help. Notice how the holes have to line up. When you put the control cam back on there is a projection that goes into the groove. Also note that One screw is shorter than the 2 others. If this is out of place, the mechanism will jam. While you are in this machine, check the power supply caps. I will almost guarantee capacitor C17 - 3300uF @ 16V will be bad. This will cause any tape to play in EP instead of the correct speed. Check ESR on the rest too, if you can. It might be best just to replace all.

Well Unfortunately it was kind of difficult to install the belt without the worm gear moving a little bit and also trying to reinstall the loading mechanism also is difficult to do without accidentally moving the worm gear a little unfortunately that little bit of movement was just enough to throw the timing off just enough to make the machine jam up during the start up test process, and also when trying to get it to play a tape, it works fine fast forwarding and rewinding, but when you try to hit play, the mechanism jams up and won't load the tape.
