Hi,

Here is an update on the loading motor ("no longer available") for that
RCA VCR model VR651HF:

I finally received the motor (was on back order), Samsung part #
SMG AC31-00012A. The motor has the same worm gear and dimensions, but
slightly longer with different terminals on the back. However, it was easy to
"adapt".

The VCR now loads and ejects tapes.

Hi Franc,

I ordered the loading motor for that Toshiba VCR model you found.

Currently, it is on "back order". When I receive it, I will post an
update on the results (same or different motor).

I am looking for a source to order a loading motor (front loader).

Here are numbers on the motor:

MDH2B
62YK1418A

According to this post ...

http://www.fixya.com/support/t351269...g_motor_bad_in

... the loading motor in a Toshiba W-512 VCR bears the numbers, MDH2B
and 62YK1X05A. I suspect the latter is a serial number or batch code.

If so, then a loading motor is available from Sears for US$3.19:

FWIW, Sears have parts for the RCA VR651HF:

However, the RCA loading motor is no longer available, whereas the
motor for the W-512 is in stock.

It may be worth comparing the parts lists, though. They look very
similar.
