Tried that. The cassette basket itself moves freely, and the VCR doesn't respond if I push a tape in. It just drops down. Even with it unplugged I can put a tape in and manually lift it out. But the rest of the VCR seems to work, the loading arms move all the way into place when I turn the VCR on, the heads start spinning, and the pinch roller engages. If I press FF, it works for a second then shuts off. Same with play.
