TAPE SPECIAL
A look Inside!
Ever wonder what's in a cassette? I know you can see through transparent
shells but opening one up is a good fun if you're bored. Some tapes cannot
be opened as they are glued together and the later versions are mainly like
this as manufacturers cut costs taking away the thrill of opening them up!
If you want to look inside this is all it takes, one small screwdriver!
Get the screwdriver and remove the 5 screws. Keep them safe!
Remove the open shell and you will see this.
Carefully take the tape out. Don't let it
get dusty and try not to paw it with your hands!
This all that's left is it? No...
don't forget the small rollers, metal plate and pressure pad!
An overview of a dissembled cassette.
Now reassemble it and be careful not to pinch the leader tape
between the shells when realigning them!
