 |
|
I've got one of the Philips DCC ( digital compact cassette) machines - mains
operated.
Whilst there are some issues with the longevity of the digital recording ( self
erasure ) it's a truly fabulous analogue playback deck which is my main use for
it now.
It's got a motorised cassette drawer that refused to open after a period of not
being used so I opened it up and fiddled with it and got it open.
Trying to find out what was causing the problem I very gently 'poked' a bit more
and now I've jammed it even worse !
Is *anyone* at all familiar with how this crazy drawer mechanism works ?

I know how some of the Philips standard cassette machines work. Does it
have a belt on the loading motor by any chance? One that is slipping?

It's actually hard to see. I'm trying to get the front panel off to see it
better but I suspect I need the drawer to eject to get the panel off !!!!
It does sound like a slipping belt but there's something quite solid jamming
things. I can't make it move with my finger as I did initially to release the
jam.
I could take some pics and post them in a binaries group.

Perhaps the front of the drawer slides off? Or there is an eject hole (paper
clip)?

I wish ! The drawer is fully motorised both for insertion and retraction.
