Phil,
Check the right side of the carriage and see that the pin actuating the door
of the cassette you're loading is making good contact. Another possibility,
depending on how far into the loading process it gets before ejecting, is
one or both of the LEDs on either side of the carriage. The LEDs in that
unit are VERY sensitive to light.
The sound issue could be a combination of a worn bearing in the capstan
and/or malfunctioning LED triggering the load process.
Also, check the lower side of idler for a crack in the cone which is
centered under the idler gear. This causes a loss of tension on the idler
gear which results in idler not being able to engage the take-up reel table
with proper tension. It's a common problem in these units and could be
responsible for partial loading.
Hope this helps.
