C100F Cassette Tray Spring Help

[kittmaster]

Does anyone have a picture of how the spring for the lower cassette tray mounts. I can't seem to figure it out. Without the spring in place, manually, I can make the tray work in and out normally with the pin guide. I know the spring allows it to "push in" "push out" for operation. I just can't get it to seem to do that as I expect. A close up shot would be great if you have it.

This is kind of a high priority as this is a members box and the last piece to ship it back to him.

Please let me know if you have any advice.

Thanks!
Chris

when s2g is back up check the capitol g thread for the M-90 knobs i think there are some pics there as to how that goes together.
I tried to get a link but the site appears to be down.

Yep, you were right and thanks!

I was going nuts trying to figure it out. None of my boxes have the trays (although I have two which I haven't installed yet) so I was like WTH.



Thanks again

Chris

It's funny because I had everything right except for the SIDE of which the rear anchor of the spring was to go. I was like WTF.

And now that I look at my BBX folder for the C100, I realize I had the images saved there as well......oh well......live and learn.......LOL

I tried this six ways to sunday, even removed all old grease to get a smooth functional action. I can't seem to get it to work.

Does anyone know HOW is it supposed to work? Is it I push it in and it pops out? Do I "pull" it out and it springs back to home position?

I did it exactly like the images and I'm getting no action at all, no push out no pull back, and the small part of the spring keeps popping out when I slide the draw in an out...............I'm really frustrated.

Anyone seen one work?

 

[kittmaster]

Anyone??

As far as I can remember, it is a "push in - pop out" kind of tray. Even when it works, it doesn't seem to work that well.

It's a push to open action but it doesn't work very well, kind of gimmicky.

Bobby,

Take down those pictures, they are not just wrong but COMPLETELY wrong. I figured out tonight how this truly works and those pics sure as **** aren't even on the same planet.

I'll post up pictures most likely tomorrow, but I've captured them and will release how this is supposed to work.

I also have the ability to regenerate the spring for the mech to give it some good umph. (for those that no longer have the spring)

 

[kittmaster]

Here is how it is really done

Thanks, Chris! I need to double check mine to see if it is in the correct way.
