Hello. I am working on this Panas PVM1365AD made in 1996 with a X mechanism. It came in with a cassette stuck. I replaced the geneva gear (VXPS0372) and also replaced the mode switch (VSSS0150). Now, when I insert a cassette, the tape loads to the heads, the heads spin for 4 seconds, then stop. If I turn power off, then on, the tape is pulled back to the cassette. It does not play or fast-forward/rewind. All the gears are aligned ( I must have done a hundred of these), the LED and sensors are good and the capstan motor is good because it pulls the tape back into the cassette. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks, John.
