Periodically, it needs both the mode switch and the leaf switch

The write-protect switch is working, because the unit auto-ejected a
cassette with the tab removed, while accepting one with its tab intact.

I don't know where the mode switch is, and I'm trying to postpone removing
the transport board.

The unit is a remarkable piece of "less is more", especially considering its
plethora of features, prominently splashed across the front panel.

Another source of belts, well sort of, are O rings. Several years ago
I picked up a large box of different size unused ones from a
transmission shop. Apparently many shops, when they do a "rebuild"
don't bother to rebuild anything more than they have to, and hence the
spare parts. They are all different thicknesses, and lengths and have
come in really handy. Lenny
