If requested, I can install this tape mechanism for free. All I'm asking is that you take care of shipping your camcorder to me and the fee for shipping it back to you after the free service is done. Installation turn around time is between 2 to 5 days.
   This tape mechanism had been fully refurbished, thoroughly tested and is now in perfect working condition.

The mechanism carries a full 60 days service warranty,  with or without the free installation.
For the few brave " Do It Yourselfers " I can provide you with an easy to follow step by step instruction with photos on how to remove and reinstall the tape transport mechanism.
    The instruction will show you which screw to remove and its location, which panel goes out first etc.... And if you get stuck or decides to not finish what you started, you can always just send the torn apart unit to me to finish as your safety net. :)
