I would clean the entire insides with an alcohol wipe and use a known
good (and hopefully modern tape) the first time.
My cyphers flap the tape around a lot inside as they load but they
eventually suck the tape in and around the takeup reel.
older tapes can sometimes have lots of attraction - sometimes due to
static charge and sometimes due to hydrolyzed binder. Or both.
