I was shocked to see that actually all of the teeth were intact and so decided to get a full working mechanism instead as it looks like the gear under the main cam had sheared off entirely, hence the loading arms not working at all.
Now I have a new mechanism in from another machine I am facing new issues.
1. The mechanism worked perfectly when in the machine in was taken from.
2. The tapes are now playing and all functions are working.
3. The tapes now play with no sound and the picture drops out as if there was bad tracking every 10 or so seconds.
The tapes are clean, the drum is clean.
Any help would be appreciated, it feels like I almost have success.
