Query: Inoperable machine

Opened the package, plugged it in, and tested it by playing a commercially recorded tape for about a minute. Then it would not rewind the tape, with the spindle seeming to have no power. The eject button would not release the door to the cassette bay more than about 1/8 inch. Unwilling to lose my tape, I forced it open. If the digital counter is important to you, it appears that this one works only in the forward direction. Will return it and not buy another.
