[TechAssist] JVC Mini Stereo MX-J10, cassette player jamming

I have this JVC Mini Stereo  model MX-J10 in the shop. Every once in a
while, the solenoids in the cassette mechanisms will keep clicking. I
removed the cassette mech. and checked for sticky operation, etc. but
found nothing. I did change the solenoid driver transistors in case they
were intermittantly leaking. Now after it's back together I notice the
problem seems to occur when the cassette tape is at the end of travel
and attempts to start playing in the reverse direction. The solenoid
just keeps clicking and the drive doesn't go into play like it should.

Does anyone have experience with repairing this problem? I have already
spent more time on it than I should have and will just return unit to
customer if I can't go any further on it.

When the unit is working, it works perfectly. I can reverse direction
play, rewind, FF, etc. all ok. The motor speed is ok too. Just when it
decides to act up, the solenoid in one cassette mech. keeps clicking


Thanks for any help.
