Thanks, that's progress. I think I got a good price, well under $200.

I attached an enlargement of the prior photo to show the worn gear. To the right and below my paper pointer in the picture are good teeth, to the left and above are 3-4 teeth that are nearly worn through. I would guess this gear has something to do with pausing, rewinding and playing for editing, but don't know its function, so am hoping you might have an idea of its function.

Let me try again to describe the heads' appearance under a flashlight shining across them from above. Without the flashlight the rings look shiny and smooth The flashlight light makes a band of light across the the width of the head. The edges of the band are not smooth, but show little striations, sort of just barely noticeable; I don't know if this is normal, or some sort of scratching from editing a lot of video tape.

Thanks,
William
