Andr'e - it might be worth dropping Alex Nikitin on here a PM. He's had a lot of experience restoring old tape decks and may be able to recommend some reliable sources of replacement parts.

I'd second that. If there's anyone who will know a source for the parts required (assuming he doesn't already have them himself of course), then it's Alex.Originally Posted by Beechwoods
