In this case regarding Sony KV13VM30, the only similar models are KV13VM30 /31 and KV20VM30 /31. The important thing to know is that Gold Star made this with a D17 mechanism so any VCR or GS combi with a D17 mech may have the same drum. However, the Sony manual has 2 different bulletins stating there is a "old" and a "new" version of cylinder and that the upper and lower cylinder must be replaced together. I didn't list all the Sony numbers because I assume you will not order it from Sony. I can send you the manual if you want it, it is 17 meg. John.
