Picked one of these up at the thrift store. It caught my eye because it supported both Hi-Fi stereo AND linear stereo audio tracks. It seems to power up ok, and all the belts are intact. Problem is the loading mechanism doesn't seem to work. I can manually engage the loading motor by turning the worm gear it drives by hand (seems to toggle a switch). Other then that, no other life out of the loading system. Does anyone have a service manual for this chassis? Its the classic early 80s Panasonic design with 3 belts and a rubber idler.
