    Could be dirty heads. Or bad tape tension or busted electronics.

    The tensioner should be something on the supply reel. The gap between the capstan and the pinch roller during FF/RW
    should be enough that the tape is not fouled by it; it depends on the design.

    Perhaps you should let a repair shop take a look

    Try a cleaning cassette if you haven't already.
