Hey all..
I have this GE blockbuster and the cassette deck is giving me a headache. There is a spring involved in the play function that has broken through a black plastic fitting under the play head and now it will not fully engage. It shuts off a second after pressing play. I've tried glue, I've tried welding plastic pieces with a soldering iron. No dice. Works for a few plays and then SNAP! I'm sure there have been similar mechanisms used in other brands/models. Anyone else have this problem, or a fix?
