VCRs...
 

Just a quick question...

Does anyone happen to have a Samsung VR8608 lying around, or have the head motor? I unearthed it because my POS Sony SLV-575UC probably coughed up a plastic gear in the loading mechanism, and won't thread tape.

Best VCR i've ever used, a joy to program and always reliable, until the day I decided to clean the heads and wound up snapping a small resistor off the motor board (as pictured). Thing couldn't lock up after that(picture kept tearing and rolling), and so I put it away in the hopes I'd find something in the future.
