Sony SL-300 Betamax VCR eject problems

Well, plan B might be to just look over the whole mechanism to see if a piece might have broken off somewhere. I remember having a part of the mechanism in my first VCR break off, and I rigged something in place to fix it. That was in 1980, on a one-hour Beta machine.

Well I could do that but of course it would be even more helpful to know where the part may have come from to begin with. If it was one of the tabs that Electronic M was mentioning then I might know where to look, but if it wasn't then I'm not sure where else to look otherwise.
