Safety Record Switch

[Outland]

I just took it apart, and the record safety tab switch is plastic.

What would cause a '95 Panasonic VCR (PV-4551) to randomly eject?

I had similar issues where the tab in the video cassette was the issue that made the tape eject in record mode.Sometimes the tabs gets pushed in alittlebit and it activates the anti record function on the VCR.I end up putting a couple pieces of tape over the tab and it works fine.
