OK, so would you say the mode sw went bad, and that meant the loading
motor went beyond limits, forcing and breaking the gear teeth? That
is what I'm wondering?

> can you remove the tape Ok?

I don't think it responds to eject. I can't remember. I'll have to
try and let you know. I was hoping someone would just jump in and say
"yes that's fault XXX" 8-).

> I would start by checking the mode switch

Sounds painful .... Any easy way? Will I need to bring it to a CRO

Thanks Geoff.
