I hope someone can help me as my OCD is killing me over this issue
A nylon washer was found after replacing the tyre on the FF idler wheel on my cassette deck.
Problem is i have no idea where it came from and if its critical to the cassette deck operating.
Anyone know what this is used for and meant to be?
I suspect it goes underneath the idler arm but watching a couple of YT videos it doesn't show up on there teardowns
I think it goes under one of the mounting screws to stop the screw head from shorting traces on the PCB.

Thanks Bruce,
I've dissembled 3 of these units in the past to replace the tape counter and drive belts
Its only been when i had changed the FF Idler ring that i have noticed the nylon washer
I suspect it goes underneath the FF idler arm however after watching "8 bit retro fix" and "Mr Lurchs" video during their disassembly none was found.
Do you recall a nylon washer going under the ff idler arm, then the brass screw and nut on top to secure it?
so I could either be from the tape eject mechanism (circled)

Or one of these two spots.
