I would assume that there is a mode switch on the deck theat tells the system that it is loaded so it would be in "tape loaded" mode all the time? Only down side I can see is when pushing the eject button it mutes the tape deck, but that might not happen if the mode switch still says "tape loaded" or the system may detect a tape jam error if the carriage does not reach an unloaded postion. Why not give it a go bobbych?

(P.S I was an audio engineer for years repairing things like this).
As for the eject problem... could you not just disconnect the button itself so that it doesn't have any affect?
