All
Two part numbers I require, if someone can assist. Firstly, the built-in head cleaner assembly, or just the foam roller, for the Panasonic NV-FS100 / FS88 and similar decks. I know a lot of people find these built-in head cleaners to be less than brilliant, but I still want to replace it.
Secondly, some advice please on a Sony VO9800 Umatic video recorder which is struggling to rewind (but reverse picture search OK). I'm not certain if this is caused by the reel idler visible from the top of the deck, the one with a small Allen grub screw securing it. Can you confirm this, or is rewind performed by another idler beneath the deck? A part number and source in the UK would be helpful.
Thanks for any advice. Please copy me on snipped-for-privacy@bigfoot.com

Colin
