These machines have clutches that wear out. Look under the transport and they usually have a felt ring between two plastic discs. The discs polish after extended use and can cause a lot of problems. The clutches used to be available everywhere but I haven't done anything but the Sony machines lately. If I remember right, that is a Panasonic transport. Be careful with oil. The reel tables on a lot of machines used a special plastic lubricant. Regular oil can bind them up. It's been a long time but I think it was called molykote. Can you post a picture of under the transport?
