It might be that the cassette drive belt has snapped. If it is, it should be a cheap and easy repair.

Be aware that this guide relates to the ESRT32PS and the OP may not have that radio fitted in a Cabaret.
In my opinion, it's definitely a good start to take the radio apart to check the condition of the drive belt. If it is broken, the size required may be different than that needed for the radio in the how to guide.
