I ordered new belts then realized I forgot to check the idler tires. Tires are on order now. The vcr powered up ok.
I ended up buying a belt set for my Quasar VH5042XQ vcr and Sony TC-248D Eight Track Player at the same time. The 8-track works fine just had to remove the 30-40 year old gooey rubber belt off the pulleys.
My son has been finding old Beta tapes a our local Goodwill, along with VHS
tapes also.
I hope to have the Sanyo working by the end of this week.

My niece's B/F asked me if I would want two VCR's, a Beta and a VHS.
I mentioned that, there's renewed interest in Beta's. He was talking about taking them to Best-Buy for recycling.
I'm glad, it was a win-win situation for all.
BTW, where did you get your replacement belts? Studio Sound?
