Not normally... It isn't a common problem that I'm aware of with this unit. The customer said he bought it used and one side never worked. When I opened the case the pulley assembly was missing and no pieces of it were found inside at all. None of the venting would allow the pieces to get out so someone must have purposely removed them from the insides who didn't know where they went or how to fix it once they discovered these various pieces. I have run across this configuration in decks before and the plastic retainer merely snaps in place, unlike the split-ring lock, locking the spring down against pulley by snapping in place. If the retainer is too worn to snap-in I usually put a drop of epoxy on it to keep it locked down. But I need the assembly to do even that. Just hoping someone will have one on a junker or the parts breakdown to identify the part numbers. I sent it to research with JVC and they haven't come-up with anything in the past week. William H.
