"Why do you need to eject it? The only thing left on Betamax is Renee
Everhart giving Jeff Liebermann head. "

Zat top load or front load ? If it is front load it is likely a belt, once in a whaile the motor. the motors are fairly generic 12 volt types. I could also be the IC that drives the motor. If that is NLA a circuit can be made with transistors to replace it.

If it is top load, it is probably some little plastic piece in the mechanism, that wuld need to be glued or something.

You could send it to me. there are not alot of beta techs out there anymore.. I am in Ohio.

Sanyos alsohave this little eentsy teentsy belt on the idler assemlby that must be changed every time you even open the top of the thing.

Check the belts and/or idler-drive wheels. Chances are good that a
belt which drives the load/unload mechanism has either stretched or
broken with age.

Yeah, but Renee Everhart's face is stretched and broken with age but her
mouth still runs as good as new.

Read the faq at
www.repairfaq.org

It may lack details for LCD sets, but it was done back when beta was still
in use, so I'm sure the specific FAQ on VCR repair covers beta.

Maybe someone should write soem pages on flat TVs. I was just getting into them and had a decent technique, and then the boss had a heart attact and closed the place. The way the industry is now though, no matter how good you are you pretty much have to wait for someone to die to get a job fixing TVs.

"Or you could be a man, and risk starting your own business. "

Or I could draw to an inside straight.
