I replaced the belts on a Pioneer KE-8000 car stereo and the part
at the bottom of the photo(thin piece of stainless steel) fell out.
It doesn't appear to do anything but i would like to refit it.

Maybe its an insulating plate that goes over the
small PC board to protect from shorting.
It appears to be something along those lines.

I used to do warranty work on this model. This part is totally
unnecessary and we used to leave it out after repairs. Chuck

I picked up one of these stereos today at an auto wrecker.
Chuck, you're absolutely right, this plate does nothing.
I did feel funny about leaving it out so i put it back in.
Thanks to everyone who helped.

Hi!

This is getting a bit old...

Only because you still haven't noticed that tiny metal piece at the bottom
of the picture yet. It is rather hard to notice it. I overlooked it a time
or two.
