[TechAssist] Repair tip for JVC VCR HR-J620U won't accept or eject tape

I just finished a JVC VCR model HR-J620U which wouldn't accept or eject 
a cassette.

The fix was the "carriage idler" as I call it. It had a nylon post on 
the one end of it which held a spring. This post was broken off, leaving 
the spring unattached and therefore the idler was not making contact 
with the drive train when the eject signal was being called.

I repleced the nylon post with a bolt. I had to find one that was fairly 
flat on the head and then I had to grind the head down until it was very 
thin, just enough to hold, because this idler rubs on the metal base 
below it.

I have posted pics on my web page for a limited time, which you can 
download and save if you want.
