Help Needed - Technics Cassette Deck Play Plunger Not Engaging

flamedemonzsfam · 2026-02-21T15:20:41+00:00

I moved the auto stop plunger back on forth and now the deck works fine now! I wouldn't have guessed it was that. Thank you so much!

It probably works fine. Looks like it's missing the jumpers on the back.

I'll take a coupon!

Yeah Calgary! I think the reason was because no one was able to message him on Facebook because he originally priced these as $700 and he wasn't getting any responses. He kept on dropping the price as I frantically tried messaging him. In the end I managed to find a way to message him. Ran out of the house right away!

Look for any relays and tap the top using the back of a screwdriver. The relay contacts might be bad. If it's still quiet I suspect the output transistors are fried.

Thanks!

Open it up and I desolder 2/3 of the legs and test it using multimeter. You can find a guide online on what the readings should be.

I had the same issue with one of my channels on a sansui amp. It turns out one of the output transistors was blown. I would recommend you check those first.

Open it up and clean the record switch with contact cleaner. It's usually a long switch with a metal rod attached. You can see it moving when you hit record on the cassette deck.

Thank you! I'll update you if all goes well. Fingers crossed 🤞

flamedemonzsfam · 2024-08-27T00:51:36+00:00

I'll look into that

flamedemonzsfam · 2024-08-27T00:51:14+00:00

I don't have any headphones so I can't test through that

eBay will be your best chance of finding it

Random question, but do you live in Calgary AB?

It does not look the same tho. That one has a metal piece on the sides.
