Headunit wont eject.

[Keif]

!Proper 1990's style thread alert!

I tried to eject the tape out of the headunit in the Nova yesterday, and it doesn't.

The headunit is a standard GSi one, a Philips SC804.


When ejecting, the cassette moves up to the hole, but then drops down again.

I've tried coaxing it out with a screwdriver, but it's just not going to happen.

Does anyone know what's broken and how to fix it?

and back to 2010

open it up and once you take the cover off you should see how it works and what the fault is.

[Keif]

No **** sherlock.

Yes i know i'll be taking it out and opening it up at some stage.

but before I do that, has anyone already done it, so i know what to look for.

The eject mechanism is not mechanical as such, so it might not be obvious when it's in bits.

Hence this thread.

Quality.

See my sig. It is that original.

All i've added to the car is central locking to the boot and a tape holder.

Im thinking of going back to tapes in the nova, looks awsome!!

[Jon_nova1]

is your tape jammed?

[Keif]

Lol, it's now worse.

The grub screws that blank off the holes one's been screwed down into the hole so is stopping the key releasing the clip, and a clip the other side wont release.

Looks like i'll have to leave it unlocked for someone to remove it for me.
