OK the string on this over-engineered mechanism of my CS600 has snapped. How do you go about fixing this problem?
Where did the string snap?
In the middle or on the deck door or the dampener mechanism?
Right near the damper mechanism.
I think it's screwed if I'm honest.
No your not screwed at all.
All you need to do is take the string off from the door and the spring the attaches to the front panel.
Get a string of similar type and length Like an old tuner string form a junker box.
Reattach the spring and the door to each end of the string like the original.
leave the spring unhooked from it's mounting point.
keep the cassette door closed during this next step.
Then wrap the string around the drum of the dampener until the end of the spring is about an inch from it's mounting point.
You may need to wind or unwind a turn or two on the dampeners drum to get this right.
Now hook up the spring to it's mounting point.
Check the operation,you may need to wind the string on the drum in the opposite direction if the door won't open correctly.
That's it! :yes
I've done tons of these over the years........
