Default Re: Panasonic VCRs and brake bands...

Hey guys. Just a quick update. I took some parts out of a fubar NV-G10, including the back-tension band. I had to take apart the actual band from the plastic holders because the D chassis of the NV-G10 is different from the one of the NV-390 (I think it's the A chassis). Then I installed the new band in and now it's playing fine. So I would say this was successful. I will buy the service kit though because I also need a new pinch roller and the one the G10 uses doesn't fit. As "Red to black" said, the newer style is made of a clear plastic band rather than copper as it was on the older style.
