Query: Total junk right out of the box

We have a lot of our best sleeping music on cassette tapes so we bought this a year ago and put it away envisioning the eventual demise of our old player. It turned out to be a brand new, year old, piece of junk the first night we used it. Every tape we tried played with speed that went up and down making it entirely useless for us. Probably a bad motor or poor belt drive design. We left it new and unused for too long so nothing we can do about it now. Hooked the old player back up and will look for something that may actually work.Stay away from it. It's just premature landfill garbage and will be a pain to recycle. Emerson [Funai} trash. It's not my first experience with Funai junk. I should have known better. They have bought up all the historic old brand names and destroyed those reputations. Whenever you see the names Magnavox, Philips, Emerson, SV2000, Sylvania, Funai, Symphonic, and there are more, run away.
