[TechAssist] Re: Newer Sylvania combi TVCRs eating tapes?]

Have seen some leaving the tape out on eject because the back tension arm
comes back too far and locks the supply reel when it should be taking the
tape in. I superglue a piece of plastic to the metal chassis as a stop for
the back tension arm to keep it from coming back any further than necessary.
They had such a stop back a few years.
