Re: IML: Door lock question

It sounds like your door is not locking all the way.  I'd remove the 
latching mechanism and clean it and relube it with lithium grease.  I should 
replace your 8-Track desk as there is a problem with the pinch roller 
mechanism.  You might try your hand at fixing it but unless you are really 
handy, these are not easy to work on.

Subject: IML: Door lock question


I want to thank everyone in the club for answering all of my questions, the 
answers have been very helpful. I just bought the 74 Imperial, and even 
though it only has 60,500 miles and has been garage kept its whole life it 
has a few gadget gremlins that I keep coming across. I discovered  that the 
drivers side rear door dosn't stay locked. If you lock the door and try to 
open it from the outside it will open after you try to open it in about 3 
tries. Does anyone out there have experience in how to remedy this problem? 
The other thing I tested this weekend is the 8 track player, It works and 
dosn't eat the tape, but it plays the tape too fast. The only control on the 
8 track player is too change tracks by pressing the vloume knob, no fast 
foreward. Every tape I put in it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks. I 
picked up some 8 tracks at the local Dirt mall or weekend flea market, I 
call it the Dirt mall , for 4 dollars for 20 tapes. But every one of them 
plays too fast. So I have the chipmunks do Woodstock, the chipmunks do 
Boston, the chipmunks do Neil Young etc. LOL. If anyone knows anything about 
fixing this let me know. Thanks,     TOM
