I feel your frustration! I even bought a floor magnet whenever I lose tiny metal components on my rug. But losing that spring reminds me of that Crazy People Sony Commercial: SONY. Because caucasians are just too damn tall.
@@Uhhhhtheuhhhhmewhentheuhh I actually tried that before I found one on fixyouraudio.com. Given that I eventually found the part, then messed it up a different way, and the video was already pretty long, I decided not to include that in the final video.
Although i do love cassette decks . cassettes and in general analog tapes yet again the thing with the vintage cassette decks is going bad very bad twice i bought cassette decks from ebay supposelly in fully working condition yet both had problems . Ok these are over 30 + years old things with a lot of moving parts where they can easilly break . I'm 56 years old and i do remember them brand new back then beautiful high sound quality machines but most of them unreliable even for back then , you can imagine now so many years later . But I Do Love them .
I once found a spring and washer in the hallway. It shot that far from the desk I was working at. I used needle nose pliers for e clips to squeeze it on.
Good that you are learning from your mistakes. I am happy for you, I went through the same puberty period with electric shocks, frustrations and alot of swearing. Try changing the belts on a SONY TC-K909ES. That''s fun. Great video. Keep it up.
nice sankyo transport on that realistic , i did several video's on those how to service them but cassette decks repair are an art form , you'll get it ;-)
If your luck is anything like mine, the spring and washer will still be hiding inside the transport or deck waiting to just mock you the next time you decide to get into it. Otherwise, I have a similar carpeting scenario and one of my hobbies is creating new swear words while looking for tiny tape deck parts.
did you ever find the spring? i guess that it could be anywhere i know because i have been thru the same thing. maybe if you use a Bagless Vacuum then you could look and see what it picks up.
