I have a small blue Panasonic portable cassette stereo, but the auto-reverse keeps changing on its on, like back and forth, every 3 seconds. Is this something I could look into or would I need a technician ?

it depends first i would check the condition of the belt if its never been changed then i would change it

I had an autostop problem recently that was similar. Ramon's suggestion of belts is probably what's causing your problem.

Aside from belts, I've noticed if there is anything sticky or gunky causing rubbing or a slow down in function like old grease, dirt etc. it tends to make these auto switches think the tape is finished hence the continual clicking. If your up to opening the box up I would just look at belts are good and see if anything else needs cleaning.

"jam the box".....


Can you explain this issue about your broken english sister using your previous account here?

She is from China and just got over here in the states to get married, (mail order bride) kinda thing. Well, to make a long story short, she just doesn't have good people skills aside from the broken english so I refused to help her communicate online anymore. I apologize for any thing she may have stirred up here, I really did help her set up the account but had no idea she could get in such a pickle. I am not above cutting her off from access to my computer or accounts either. She is college aged and thinks the world owes her something, she won't last long at her new job either I'm afraid. I wish I could help her out more but I have done plenty. At some point you must be held accountable and family should be no different.

On a different note, I have been reading about all the Craigslist trouble and other online problems so I understand the line of questioning regarding this. Let me know if I am still welcome here and if there is anything I can do or shouldn't be doing. I am grown up and always act like it so you'll have no trouble from me.
