Mick, Problem with this is, so few Akai units, it's had to find any information on most of them. You have to manually load the cassette first. If it binds and does not load all the way, you have a broken gear or alignment is off and you have to go through all the gear alignments, possibly including the carriage. If it does load all the way, your problem is more than likely the mode switch is dirty or not positioned correctly. This type of problem is difficult for us to help you with because it sounds mechanical in nature. It would help to know if this was the original problem, or if you repaired another problem and this is happening after you had unit apart.
