This was also the exact same fault as Gary listed the tip for the J620
model.  My solution was to cut the circle end of the spring, making it
into a hook that I put through the hole where the nylon post broke.

If this is the mech with the worm gear on the tape transport, here is
what 
you will find.
Remove the transport. There is a slide across the front.
About 1/3rd of the way from the left, you will find a hook in the
chassis 
with a spring.
On the other side of the slide is a lever that used to have 2 plastic 
'hooks' on it that broke or broke off.
This is where the other end of the spring goes. The lever engages the
eject 
function.

What I do to fix - run a thin wire thru the hole in the lever and then
thru 
the spring and reattach it that way.
Just did a Magnavox like that. Only other thing - could be a broken worm

gear on transport.
