I have Sears branded Beta VCR: Sear Part Number: 564.53091450

Its basically a renamed Sanyo 4400

I replaced the belts, but it still leaves loops of tape when changing from PLAY to STOP.

I found a nice website:

It shows in detail how to replace the belts and tires. But specifically it mentions that there exists a Reel Motor torque improvement modification

However, it does provide specifics for my particular Beta model.

Does anyone have any experience with this model or the Sanyo 4400 Beta.

Could you provide any help? I'd like to provide the motor with more torque.

Hello

I may have spoken to you directly already. I think the torque mod components for the UK models (VTC5000, VTC5150) will probably be correct for your machine also. I would expect the component locations to be the same. Perhaps have a look at the leftmost PCB and compare it to the pictures on my web site. Note there are two slightly different versions of this board.

I can send the parts from the UK, or you may be able to source them locally.

Regards,

Colin
