Sadly, it quit loading tapes a few years ago and had been in storage since then, now i'm planning to repair it to be able to get the stereo sound out of our old tapes, the small belt on the loading motor is obviously slack and is slipping, but the loading motor along with its belts and gears are packed between the mechanism and the PCBs beneath it (remember this is a portable VCR) so it seems almost impossible to replace it
Anyone knows how to disassemble this VCR to get at the loading belt?

Remove the under cover, and then remove the circuit board (if possible), and then remove the screw mounted on the loading motor.
