Conion c100 need help to identify part and screw question

[Katsa]

Any idea what this is too?

Also anyone know what screws go where in the back ( long vs short)

That looks like the locking cam that holds the spare tape drawer closed, there should be a spring that goes with it.

 

[caution]

JVC is correct. If you've lost the spring you're sort of boned, it's a weird one. Here's the screws

 

[Katsa]

Thanks. Still have the spring any idea how this goes back in? Looks like I’m missing some short and medium: screws probably a real pain to find.

 

[caution]

Yeah, here's some images that should help you get it reinstalled.

I may have some extra screws for you if needed. I'm just starting a restoration project (using two rough ones to make one good one). Both of mine are missing some of the screws, so once I have a full set together, I'll let you know what I have leftover. I will probably also have a bunch of other parts to list in the parts section once the project is done, but that will be a while down the road.

thanks for the help will work on this over the weekend!

since i only have two different screws how long are the short and medium ?

Caution I would like to let you know that is not the correct way the spring goes for the tape drawer. It does not hook into the white cam at all. It actually hooks around the white cam where it pops into the chassis where the beginning of the slot is cut out where u actually start to insert the cam. When I tried it your way the press to open feature doesn't work for the drawer. I'll post a picture shortly

This is the proper routing for the spring. Hope it helps.

 

[caution]

Yep that's right. I remember that from mine. I had just grabbed someone else's pics and didn't look close enough.

 

[caution]

You can see how they designed the anchor pin with a shoulder to leave room for the spring.
Instead of those pics saying to put the cam on at the same time as the spring, I think it makes more sense to put the spring on first, then the cam.

Yea I put the spring on first as well. My restoration is coming along nice just have to get some cassette Belts and get my fm stereo light to come on.
