Sharp VL-MX7 twin lens video recorder

Unit had a cassette inside but it would not or play. When the eject button pressed, the mechanism whirred and appeared to eject, but only ejected half way then stopped. Then, the recorder was partly dismantled to physically remove cassette, and by placing dc voltage onto drive motor it ejected fully and undamaged.
Also cassette only partly loads then stops when only half way into mechanism, where it appears to get stuck.
Yes, I know it's an oldie, but I need to view my historic video. Any suggestions please? Thanks in anticipation.
