But this is not the vx5000 card, and then what happened to the socket for the flat cable that comes from the head

At this point I am ready to toss the whole thing and not spend more time on it. I think it’s the plastic part that I glued that is not completely accurate.

Finally got the job done, my beocord vx500 is now working fine.
Many tracks were interrupted and I had to make jumpers, wire more than 200 capacitors, the battery etc...

Thank you, Martin - but I was lucky enough to get a VX7000 for free today, so I have taken the mechanism from that one.

However, I still have one problem:
The reel drive gear is driving me a bit insane. I cannot get it to touch the take up reel. I have looked in the service manual but there is definitely something that I am not seeing. Any tips? Seems like there is a plastic hook underneeth the right wheel that prevents the change.

The FS arm is the blocker. It does move away if I turn the small motor to the right.
However, the damn thing wont either forward or reverse. I am clueless at this point.
