Tks for the i/p Jerry,you put me in the right area.On the large worm gear&PR assy,there's a plastic spring loaded slide gear that was cracked,thus unableing the cam gear to fully seat in the load/down position,which probably also puts the mode switch in the wrong spot to enable ''tape-load''&play cycle.Replacing it and problem cured.The black graphic grease was hiding the crack.Tks again Jerry & to all for there i/p's on this unit....Don........
