Harmon kardon dc520
I'm digitizing my tapes. 1st symptom, I could play tapes on both sides, but could not ff or rewind. nothing would happen. Takes are high quality but 30 years old. Next the secondary transport ate a tape, and now it wont play or eject. switching to the primary deck, I played a tape but then it would not play, reverse FF rewind, nada. when I power down the munched tape tried to move, makes some noise, but nothing happens.

Dual cassette deck are often poorly built and full of problem with age. They are typically not worth repair. Get a good deck like the Tascam 122 Mk II as these can be repairs.
I have consulted with clients that have dual decks and the cost to repair will get you a Tascam 122 Mk II in restored condition and it works much much better. I should know as I have been repairing decks for 40 years so far.
