Opened the unit and saw the right side arm that pushes the right load arm forward had come loose. This turned out to be a white plastic gear that split in half. The tech referred to this as the right"threading gear".Function is to make the right load arm go forward and wrap the tape around the video head for play. Said it's a common breaking gear. (there's one for each side)I could not find the so named gear on the Tritronics site under the model number. Need assistance,please. Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
