I have a Sony SLV920HF VCR that has a cracked gear. The gear drives
the posts that wrap the tape around the drum. I need to get access
to the bottom of the transport to replace it.

Do I need to remove the transport from the top? Or should I try and
remove the circuit board below it, from the bottom?

TIA

Most Sony's I've seen with this mech, the circuit board is removed from
under neath - but on this one, a center drive model, the mech is removed
from the top. Other stuff needs to come off first, as I recall. The front
panel circuit boards, the tape preamp board, the cassette carriage, maybe
some other stuff.

Thanks for the tip!
