   I've got a working one here, although I can't say I've tried to   
   disassemble the tape mechanism.   
      
   It seems like there are three things that need to happen for the tape to   
   feed properly: first, the print head needs to hold the tape against the   
   print roller (the print head retracts when the cassette door is open,   
   you can see it move into place as you close the door). Second, the print   
   roller needs to turn. Third, there's a black plastic shaft that engages   
   with a supply roller inside the tape cassette, and this should also   
   turn.   
      
   If you hold the rear door half-closed while pressing the "Print" button,   
   it should be possible to see which of these things aren't happening.   
   It'll run with no tape cassette installed, which may make it easier to   
   see which parts aren't moving.
