Honda Car Forum

Greetings,

Someone gave me an old Honda tape deck (Model # 39100-SE0-A300-M1)
that I'd like to put in my 1991 Civic because its better than the one
that's in there now. Except for one thing: the mechanism that loads
and unloads the tape doesn't work reliably. Sometimes you get the
tape back, sometimes you don't. It was free to me, so I don't mind
putting a few bucks into it, and I don't mind putting the time in to
do the work myself. Anyone ever come across this before? Ideas?

Thanks!

In cases like this I always start by taking the thing apart, and looking at
it, and then putting it back together.
Half the time, this solves the problem.

===========

If the labels on the tapes are rippling or peeling at all, they won't
eject properly.

'Curly'

==============

if its free and you have time on your hands try to fix it. but generally i
say its not worth fixing because i saw a factory honda tape deck stereo sell
for $5 on ebay. why dont you just buy a pioneer cd deck like i did for 25
bucks on ebay.
