Fluctuations in tape speed - what would be the issue?

I have a Otari MX5050 and i'm having too much fluctuations in speed,
i know this because i've recorded a drumstem then dumped back into logic and
it was all over the place.

Granted this machine hasn't had a 'real' tune up in a while, what would you guys think of being the issue at hand ? belts? motor?

I'm also noticing problems with the pitch control swithc, when it's on it doesn't give me the right control over pitch - again, it seems to fluctuate a lot and it's never the same, it's quite random...

thx in advance.
