Sony SL-F30 not unloading
Hi chaps,
I have a Sony SL-F30 that was working perfectly until today. When I went to eject, the tape unthreaded, the cassette shell lifted, but then everything stopped dead. It sat in this state for a few seconds, and then the cassette dropped back down in the loaded position and the tape re-threaded.
Playback operation is completely normal, but it just won't eject properly. Is this going to be a repair that relies on unavailable parts? I do have another F30 with a failed Hall effect sensor, but I'd obviously prefer not to have to cannibalise that if possible (with a view to ending up with two working F30s).
Any advice greatly appreciated!
