My first guess is that the tape you are trying to play is bad, or some part
of the unit is excessively dirty.  This would cause increased resistance
to tape travel.  Carried to the extreme, this might make the unit think that
it had reached the end of the tape, which probably causes the unit to shut
off.  If my unit had that problem, I'd clean the heads and tape path thoroughly
and try using a different tape before doing any further testing/repair.
