Any binding will slow the tape down and prevent playback. 3) Loosen the five screws holding the cassette together about 1/4 turn to relieve any excess pressure. 4) There is a spring which applies slight pressure to the playback head when it's in the play position. It is held by a plastic post which very often breaks. See messages on this forum about a possible fix. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
