Hey!

I've had a micro cassette player (or a dictation machine) for years and years and years and I know there's many interesting things on the one single tape I have for it. I've been wanting to record the contents of the tape to a digital form but now it seems the motor for the player has gotten quite lazy.

Now here's the question: Are cassette players particularily hard to take apart? I'm not looking for a step by step guide or anything but I was thinking if any of you have any experience fixing these things?

My mechanic's skills aren't that good but I think I can take it apart and put it back together again unless cassette players are impossibly complicated on the inside. I think the mechanicals on this thing will be basically the same but smaller.

Here's a pic:

Thanks.

Try finding a used recorder real cheap maybe even a new one at your local discount store might be cheaper than time spending trying to fix it.
