The cheap cassette players of the International brand from the 90's had two types of mechanisms: one the most used is the one with auto stop only on play and which is still used today in the chinese cheap radio cassettes, and other that had full auto stop and which was much better. Both mechanisms were compatible and could be placed in other devices that used this type of mechanism. I want to restore a radio cassette player and I would like to know which models used this type of full auto stop mechanism compatible with International brand to buy a defective device for the mechanism.
I found for example a Sharp WQ 290, does anyone know if it is this type of mechanism with full auto stop like the ones used in International cassette players?

And if memory serves, both are Tanashin mechanisms.

Yes, it is about this type of mechanism. I put some pictures found on google.

So Sharp WQ 290 what kind of mechanism does it have?

How about Aiwa RM77?

later edit: I think I found it. I talked to the seller, he made a video for me and it seems that the Aiwa RM 77 has a full auto stop mechanism.

I recently stripped a really cheap boombox down for parts as it sounded terrible, I'll post some pics up later of the tape mechanism, more than happy to post it to you if you cover postage?
