I have an almost working cassette deck on my 3-5259A but after a few hours of investigating the deck its self an look through online forms I have figured out the I am experiencing a common issue as others have had where the spring in the reader head bracket has broken the plastic.

I have seen that @caution has made a working 3D model but since Shapeways died I can not get it from there and I have sent a message to AnalogAlley so I am waiting for a response from them.
But @caution if you see this and still have the 3D model would you be able and willing to share it with.

Lol. This head assembly has to to be the most used and useful 3D print to date. :-) They crack on all of them. I doubt there is any of them with their original head assemblies (not repaired or rigged) still working.

This was mine
