OT, Betamax parts?

Does anyone know where to get NOS parts for a Sony Beta machine?

I picked one up for .96c (yes, ninety six cents!) the other day and it needs the tape loader assembly or a gear for same, also the cogged belt would be nice.

Model SL-HFR70

Sony still sells spares for most of their old machines.

Great, thanks!

partsstore.com lists quite a few parts for this model but has no pictures so I'll have to either order everything listed as a gear or arm (still only about $10) or look for part numbers on my old parts.

Passed up a nice betamax Sunday night (trash night here). It had been raining hard all night and it was a mess. Also a Sony projection, mid-80s, and a trinitron probably from the same time.

You could try Andrews Electronics here in Los Angeles; (800) 289-0300. But I hope you don't need the whole loading carriage... Last time i got one for one of those newer Betamaxes, it was about $100. Usually, the problems are with dirty leaf switches that are mounted on the loader and also one that is moved when the loader is down all the way. The timing belt is usually OK, but that's available I'm sure.
