This Sony DCR-TRV330 records and plays back ok. The customer claims that it might have been dropped. The result is that when the cassette is played, the protective lid of the cassette is touching the top, metal hub of the drum. As a result, there is a loud scraping noise whenever the drum is spinning. If you manually lift the cassette lid a couple of millimeters, the noise stops. So what is responsible for keeping the lid away from the drum?
Thanks for your reply.
There is no definite answer. You must take it apart and carefully examine everything to discover what is bent or damaged.

You are absolutely correct. I lowered the cassette holder very slowly and found the metal tab that supplies the support for the cassette lid. It was bent quite a bit. After straightening it, problem fixed.
