Sony VCR Model SLV-741HF Issues

[vortalexfan]

Hello Everyone yesterday I went to my local goodwill store and scored a late 1990s Sony VCR Model SLV-741HF that when I got it home it wouldn't play any tapes it would load the tape just fine but when you would try to push play or rewind or fast forward the VCR would just pop the tape back out of the VCR.

Which I had determined that it was the belt and this particular VCR happened to have the classic toothed belts that Sony was famous for using in their VCRs back in the Day and they also had a tensioner pulley for the belt which was adjustable so I tightened the tensioner pulley and the rest of the pulleys started moving again as they should (before they were barely moving when you would turn the pulleys by hand).

But now my problem is that when I was taking this VCR apart (you had to remove the circuit boards from the bottom of the unit to get to the belt, and the head demodulator board) I didn't disconnect all of the cables like I should of and I accidentally tore the ribbon cable that came out of the head unit and connected to the head demodulator board, and so the ribbon cable tore in half and I know theres a way to repair that but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could get my hands on a new Head unit for this VCR without having to pay out the wazoo for one, or if anyone on here had a head unit from a junker unit I could have.

See picture below to see the head unit in question and the aforementioned damage.
