An audio storage device that uses magnetic tape to record and play back audio input.

Playback of recorded material is "garbled"

Is that garbled sound, that you are discribing, like if you sing a not and lightly punch yourself in the chest? Because that’s the problem that I have with my deck. I ordered Awesome Mix tapes from the movie Guardians of the Galaxy (meaning they are new) and when I play them on my walkman they sound fine, but when I play them on my Sony TC-K370 the sound is as I described... Is the problem in the belts? Or the little wheel?

The belt probably needs replacing.

Try cleaning the heads, capstan, and pinch roller. If it's been sitting for a long time in an attic, it's probably dirty and oxidized. This video shows you how to clean a tape deck:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2LQr63X...
