Successfully mounted the eject frame back into the eject mechanism
(The top part with the latches that holds the tape down) -- Problem is
that the right side, which is made of plastic, has worn out which
makes it difficult to hold it together.

There is a part that is attached to the plastic, on the right side :
A metal part, with a launch coil spring beneath, the kind that you can
wind back, and release forward: This works, but seems to come apart
every time when inserting a tape.

Also, a caterpillar spring, with a hook on the top, and a loop on the
bottom, came out of the right side of the eject mechanism plastic,
would like to put it back in the right place.

Another part, a thin, rectangular metallic wafer, also fell out of the
bottom.

I think I can get this machine to work -- Any suggestions?


If you could take a photo of the broken parts/mechanism and post a link
to it, I think it would be easier for people to assist you. A visual aid
is always best
