CPC arrived today, superb packing 
The cassette fault turned out to be a split rubber on the take up idler, repaired with a touch of superglue and after a full strip down and refurb / clean up she is like new and 100% functional, works great with my modded DD1 floppy interface.
@PSO, many thanks indeed for your kindness and help
Have left feedback for you
Now would any of you nice people have an old 6128 they would like to get rid of.
