Nearly every one of the several hundred parts that go into a cassette deck is tiny, and will go flying with a little "ting" sound if you grip it too tightly with the pliers. If you're lucky, you'll find it in the carpet after an hour of searching. If not, you keep looking. I hate little fiddly things, always have. I am not mechanically minded. I break pretty much everything, often while simply removing purchases from the packaging. I've lost this little clip a half dozen times now. But I have decided that I am going to do this. I am tired of not completing projects just because they are hard. Everything is hard.
