Does anyone know a website where I can search for VCR components by make, model or product number? I'm after a small rubber drive band to fit an old Goldstar VCR. I have actually located the part at the Charles Hyde & Son website
Don't know of an online supplier but I was able to order a small belt for a car stereo from a local tv/video repair shop. Cost 80p, IIRC. Maybe there's one near you who would be able to get one?
Maplins sell a few belts, thinking about it.

Thanks, there is a Maplins near me so I'll give them a try. I did throw out a couple of old vcr's and took the belts off thinking they would come in handy one day. It's just my luck that one belt is slightly too small and the other too big!
Send them a stamped addressed evnelope, £1.50, and tell them you don't want insurance. you could also put two peices of card in the envelope.

I'd be utterly amazed if any shop kept them in stock. Easier to order via their website.
Good idea! I'm going to try a couple of local TV/Video repair shops first but if I get no joy that's what I'll do.
If they have the part then
Otherwise
Plus they are just local enough for me to drive there if I need the part in a hurry :-)
