Thanks for your help. I must have one of the slot loaders where the hole is covered up. I have looked for it before.
I will try the site with the repair information and if I cannot get it I will contact you again. That is very generous of you to offer to send me the CD. I will let you know how I everything work, or doesn't work. Many thanks, Brian Hey What's up Brian: > > The eject hole is on the felt layering inside the slot on the right side.
