Repair Audio Cassette Pressure Pad
Has the pressure pad fallen off of your audio cassette tape?
The fix is fairly simple but you should consider getting your cassette converted to digital format to preserve it for long term use.
One of the most common cassette tape failures that we have found is the pressure pad falling off. The glue that hold the felt pad onto the spring just dries out over time and then the slightest bump causes the pad to fall off. The easy fix is to carefully glue the pad back onto the spring with some type of super glue.
First find the cassette pressure pad that is typically loose just behind the tape in the housing.
Using a tweezers; pull a small loop of tape out of the shell so you can access the spring (typically a copper colored piece).
Now without touching the tape, use the tweezers to place the pad back onto the center of the spring. Allow to dry per the instructions on your glue label keeping the tape loop pulled out until the glue is dry.
Now; have your cassette tape converted to digital format before it completely gives up the ghost. Let us know if we can help!

Repair Audio Cassette Tape
Here is the easiest way to repair a cassette tape that will not run properly or is tight in the cassette shell. You simply need to take the tape spools (with the audio) from the old worn out shell and put the spools in a new shell.
If the cassette housing assembles with screws (typically 5 screws), you're i
n luck. If it's sealed, you're going to have to destroy the housing to get it apart. In either case you will need to have a new blank cassette in hand as you will simply be changing the housing or shell by putting the old tape in the new housing. Find a cassette that has a 5 screw housing or purchase a new tape to put your old tape into.
Remove the tape spools from the new housing and replace with the old tape spools (be sure to put the left one on the left and the right one on the right. Put the housing back together and you are good to go.
We recommend having the audio cassette converted to digital format if so it can be easily put onto a CD or mp3 player for long term archive purposes.
