Bad tantals around the Dolby IC. I’ve seen that a couple of times.

I have a 2002. My tape deck runs fine, I just put new belts on but there is little to no sound coming out. I have to turn it right up to hear it, I was thinking it’s the heads? any advice greatly appreciated
Heads defect?
99%= NO
Caps defect, quite normal.
Electrolyth and tantalum caps fail after this long time, that’s quite normal.

The head is probably intact. Only Bogen heads on open reel Beocords and Uhers pose problems.
Do check capacitors around the Dolby circuit.
