[DML] Re: craig W460 cassette mechanism

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just like in the old fashion VCR's...The weak points were the rubber 
bands or belts, when the cassette was rejected,it was usually caused 
by 
the rubber bands or belts or whatever you want to call them...going 
bad...over time they either stretch or just fall off or break from 
age,if the cassette senses,something wrong,with the rubber bands, it 
will reject the 
tape.Problem is trying to find new  rubber bands for that 
radio..........

Hope that helps.
