The black plate that mounts inside the tape door gave me some trouble. After I reattached the unit, I took it out to the car for a test run before I put the housing and cassette door back on. It worked beautifully. But after I put it all back together, it would play and then stop. It sounded like the tape was in a bind. I removed and repositioned this plate three times. Finally, I removed the plate altogether and it works great. If you experience this problem after reassembly, you may try removing the plate. I honestly don’t think it will hurt anything, the plate is only there to protect the gears behind it, but I just didn’t have the patience to keep repositioning the thing until I got it right.
I hope you were successful in your project. I know for me it was a great sense of accomplishment, especially saving about eighty bucks. I feel like part of a family as a Reatta owner, so I hope I helped someone by doing this. If this manual helped you, please let me know. And if I missed anything or you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or drop me an email.
