Default Philips DCC - stuck cassette drawer

Remove the cover, and see what is jammed. The machine may need a new set of
belts. Belts are a common problem. If the machine is an older unit, and has
a lot of hours on it, it is possible that it needs a proper maintenance by
someone who is experienced at this type of work.

I've got one of the Philips DCC ( digital compact cassette) machines - mains
operated.

Whilst there are some issues with the longevity of the digital recording (
self
erasure ) it's a truly fabulous analogue playback deck which is my main use
for
it now.

It's got a motorised cassette drawer that refused to open after a period of
not
being used so I opened it up and fiddled with it and got it open.

Trying to find out what was causing the problem I very gently 'poked' a bit
more
and now I've jammed it even worse !

Is *anyone* at all familiar with how this crazy drawer mechanism works ?
