First easy thing is to clean the PB/Rec switch. They are usually Alps switches
& quite troublesome. When I worked for Sony I replaced them on I would
guess half of the cassette decks. Lots of symptoms !
After that a recap would probably fix it.

I ordered a Sams TR 45 book on ebay, and it should be here sometime next week.

It seems I'm getting pretty good at identifying the age of some of these old electronics devices because I guessed 1960s as being when this tape recorder was from and sure enough the Sams TR 45 Booklet is from 1968 which would put my tape recorder to around 1967 which is right around when I thought it was from, which is pretty early for compact cassette tape recorders.
