I'd like to keep the oiginal sound system of my Sovereign.

It only has the radiocassette and no CD changer. The radio works ok but i cannot introduce the tapes on the cassette slot. Seems some kind of spring problem. I push the tape all the way in but the mechanim doesn't engage.
I also push the mode button but nothing changes in the display.

Was really looking forward to listen to some pretty old tapes I have from Elliot Murphy, Roxy Music, in my jag

Any ideas?

 

The Alpine OEM units are notorious about failing in a variety of ways, some of which you describe.


There really are only two options:


1) Replace with aftermarket
2) Spend about $250US to have "Southern Electronics" in the USA rebuild the unit


I'm not sure what options exist overseas for affordably rebuilding the head unit.

Hola Clasico,
It is easy to find a used unit for reasonable money in UK. Just be sure that you get the code.
Check in ebay. Or if you want, I can send by PM the contact of people that deal with X300 parts and that I can recommend.


Good luck.
Jorge
