Hello Techs, when this vcr came in it had a worn link gear that operates the cassette housing, after replacing it still will not except a cassette, it takes the cassette in about half way and spits it right back out, I have checked the timing in the "under chassis" such as the cam gear and slide plate and the timing in the "above chassis" assembly looks good also, the timing also looks good in the cassette housing. If I take the housing out the carriage loads and unloads a cassette manually, and the main mechanism loads and unloads with no problem, what am I missing? I don't think this is a mode switch problem because as the cassette goes in it seems to jam before it kicks back out, anyone have any idea's? Any help is appreciated.
