Wanted: Panasonic Z-Mechanism decks
 

does anyone have or know where i can find a list of Panny deck with the Z-mech.

i need some parts and want to buy some lower end decks that use the Z-mech
im pretty sure the AG-1320 and 1330 use them.
do any of the PV series?

I think that any Panasonic deck that says "Superdrive" on the front uses the Z-mechanism. They were quite common in the late-90s-early-00s. Shouldn't have a problem finding them at a thrift store.

I have no idea.
If it were me, I'd start looking through some of the service manuals.

i was hoping some of the PV "Omnivison" decks would have the Z-Mech
those are everywhere and very cheap.

the "Super Drive" decks all seem to be AG And NV series and are hard to find locally.
i hate to pay $50 for an ebay deck just to throw 99% of it in the trash

i have a JDM deck with TBC im trying to fix

success!!
i repaired my NV-SB900 with parts from a $28 Ag-1330

now can anyone read Japanese??
