If there is problem with the cassette mechanism of the Big Ben will that prevent the tuner from working also ?? This radio was given to me by a friend that said he swapped the cassette mechanism to another box he has and told me I could use it to listen to music or put a iPod in line in. It powers on but that's just about it. I can hear the cassette motor running. It also has the pause and the play buttons light on. Tried playing around with the selector switch and nothing. Little help here please. Thanks Gregory
