Monte, Thanks for the reply, I know this is actually Toshiba however i didn't know what chassis to call it. The cast aluminum cassette tray loading lever is ok and the main cam gear is timed correctly. I cleaned the mode switch also. After i did all this work i checked it again and noticed that the load motor did not initialize, ya know the normal forward/reverse at startup. So i pulled the load motor and found that it's burnt. I dont have a new motor yet but i expect that when i change this should take care of the problem. Never seen one of these motors go bad. >>>>One for the books.
