Goldstar R-DD10i 8mm Video 8 / VHS Recorder Combi Audio Dubbing Editing System

WHILST I WAS TESTING THIS BOTH VHS AND VIDEO 8 WERE FULLY WORKING AND PLAYING TAPES AS THEY SHOULD

WHEN I WENT OT EJECT THE VIDEO 8 IT STARTED MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AN THEN THREW AN ERROR ON THE SCREEN

TO RETRIEVE THE TAPE A REMOVED THE TOP AND FOUND A PLASTIC SPROKET HAS BECOME BRITTLE AND COME OFF

NO SURE WHERE IT CAME FROM BUT ITS WHATEVER PUTS THE ARMS IN THAT PULL THE VIDEO REEL BACK IN AND OUT

SO SELLING AS SPARES OR REPAIRS
