Source for Eject Mechanism? (3D Printed, maybe?)

[dwsiddall]

I have a Sharp GF-A1 and A2 and on both the cassette eject part is broken. I have attached a photo of the part in question. It's actually broken and super-glued but I have ZERO confidence that this will hold.

Does anyone know a source for these parts, perhaps a 3D printed version? I need TWO....I broke them when taking the case apart....

And speaking of that....how do you remove the face without breaking this?

Thanks....

Super glue can work if you use primer first. Best way is to use metal pins for strength. I have even used the threaded section of a bicycle spoke to great effect.

Thanks for this info.

Funny that no one noticed that the "catch" was glued upside down....

The best way to prevent breaking these is to leave the cassette door open when you remove the front case if the cassette door is closed it's going to catch on the latch.
