You'll find that the rubber belt on the armature return motor has perished and broken.
If you push the cueing button and you hear a faint wrrrr sound then that is exactly what the problem will be. If it doesn't wrrrr then there is something else wrong that I can't begin to diagnose here.
if the wrrrr sound exists, just go to the local electrical store and buy a small rubber belt. I can't remember the exact measurement but it requires you to take the body cover off to install it anyway so just delve into the body to measure it. somewhere around 50mm +/- a few mm if my memory serves me correctly.
50mm is around 2 inches in the old imperial system.
