Indeed, but I was blindsided by the weight and the distance I needed to carry it. I finally realized, no wonder that street on Google Maps was unmarked, it's actually a path. I spent about 20 minutes walking up and down the main road trying to find the street, and perhaps another 10 on the wrong street before continuing up the path. In this case it was a good thing this deck isn't one with a tuner and timer.
I guess it was just sheer determination. Stuff like that isn't seen often around here.
The idler tires aren't impossible to find. They'll cross to other VCRs and tape systems. Here's the data I found on my melted tire:
OD = 18.03 mm.
ID = 8.94 mm.
THK = 4.83 mm.
OD = 0.710".
ID = 0.352".
THK = 0.190".
Replaces PRB part number: ST.707.
Used in JVC models: CP-5000U/CP-5500U/CP-5200U/CP-6000/
CR-6000U/CR-6060U/CR-6100U/CR-6300U.
Used in Bell & Howell Tape Recorder model: 456A.*
*Turns out the Bell & Howell 456A is actually an 8mm/Super 8 film projector.
