Hi Everyone,

I have a dual deck Sony tape player. I put a tape in the other night
and it wouldnt play. When I tried to eject the tape, it felt like there
was resistance on the eject button.

I opened it up and looked at it. The ejector itself is somewhat stuck
but can be pushed very hard on the inside to eject the tape. Is there
anything I can do to fix this?

You know what, the tape wont play even If I get it in there. There is a
little white piece of plastic that is supposed to be mounted down and
clear of the ejecting mechanism. It is kind of floating around in there
preventing the ejecting of the tape but even more important is when a
tape is in there it seems life the heads dont want to move. A belt
maybe?
