Anyone have a broken SC-901 head unit?

[scot850]

I have an SC-901 head unit but the flap that keeps the dirt out of the 3-CD cassette changer section is broken.

There should be a little nub and a small hair spring that flips the cover up when the 3-CD cassette is removed. On this unit I have the little nub that holds the spring in place is broken off and the spring is missing.

Is there anyone out there with a dead unit kicking around willing to remove these 2 parts and send them to me. Naturally happy to pay for shipping and time.

This should look like this:

To remove the parts, the drawer needs to be moved out from the head unit as per my instructions here:

Then on the end of the drawer there is a plastic shroud that has to be removed. It is held in place by 2 small cross head screws, one either side:

Once these are removed, the shroud can be removed. Under that the small hair spring can be carefully slid off the nub that holds in in place (not breaking the nub!!) and then the flap can be removed by bending it to allow the 2 small plastic nubs to be released.

I know I can just leave a CD-cassette in place but I like things to be the way they were intended!

Many thanks,
