Cassette adaptor ejecting
 

I have a sony xr6600 tape player (in a '95 VW)
& maplin's cheapest casette adaptor.

The thing works for 3 seconds then ejects, presumably the tape player isn't
fooled.

Is it possible other makes of adaptor would work better or will this player
reject every such device?

I had the same problem with an adapter from Argos in my car, but it did work
well in the wife's car. I took it back and bought an adapter from Tandy (are
they still in business?) it worked fine and was cheaper.

Ah, young Nerk, have a picture of Queen Victoria while I describe what
you need.

You need to find an adapter that has little wheels between the two
sprocket holes so that, when one is driven so is the other. This is
because these tape players monitor the non-driven spindle to find when
the tape has come to the end.
