The bad part is that I had for a while an early 1980s Hitachi top loading VCR that ended up having more wrong with it than I could repair so I salvaged all but one of the belts out of the machine and the one belt I forgot to get out of the machine would of worked for the rear loading mechanism assembly (the loading mechanism for loading the tape into the heads.)
