Having maintained this deck over the years, new silicone rubber bands ,
tyres and pinchwheel etc. Annoying having to drop out just because a
white plastic wishbone/quadrant arm linkage thing has dropped out and
laying in the bottom of the casing. Buggered if I can see where it has
dropped out from. I can manually turn the capstan with REW engaged and
by pushing a lever over, by finger, the REW mechanism will engage but I
cannot see where and how this linkage does the job of my finger.
Full SM with exploded views seems to have a different mechanical deck
to this AD F220.

have a pic of the right area . Google images has failed, no type number
on the deck or in the manual that I can find, unless 58-3-25 is the deck
type, rubber stamped with red ink like the 1983 date in black ink.
Any other ideas?

That widget is nothing to do with REW it is one of the levers active
from the "top" ledge of a cassette, the one for the REC inhibit slot,
dislodged.
So something wrong with the power-take off cam system presumably, not so
straightforward as replacing a linkage.

Luckily not the internal PTO cam/cogs area but the latch under the keys.
Small squarish plastic nib under the key, a corner edge of it bears
against a 45 degree angle of one of the steel plate slider-bars. Taken
all those years of use to wear back the corner to a bit of a flat.
Decided on a bodge of a thin piece of PTFE along the key , wired into
its guide slot, to reliably cant over the key to allow that latch to
engage.
Incidently anyone know of a perhaps non-ideal, but not expensive and
"solidified before next use" glue for PTFE?

The best glue for PTFE is probbly meat. Teflon is pretty much PTFE and if you fry a steak in a teflon pan and it sticks, it REALLY sticks.
