MBK-106

Panasonic, RCA, GE, and Quasar VCR replacement parts kits. Your VCR may have the Quasar, RCA, or GE name on it instead of Panasonic. The on-line database has been set up to direct you to the proper rubber replacement or Maintenance kit for your VCR. Even though every precaution has been taken to assure the accuracy of the database, mistakes can be made. If you have doubts about the pictured VCR being similar to yours please check the chassis photos below. If you feel that we've made a mistake, please E-Mail us and let us know.

If the photographs below do not match the chassis and carriage in your VCR you may want to check our MBK-107 and our MBK-22 pages. If you were directed to this page but your VCR actually matches the photos on one of the other pages we would appreciate it if you would let us know.

We have two replacement rubber replacement kits for these VCRs that were manufactured by Panasonic.

MBK-106: Belt Kit	Contains the only belt that is used in these Panasonic VCRs. A slipping belt can cause problems ranging from lines in the picture to will not play a tape. The belt drives the clutch which turns the idler assembly. Your price for our MBK-106 kit is $1.25. See photo for location of Belts
MBK-106-I: Idler Assy.	The idler assy. in these VCRs is a common source of problems. The idler assy. is fairly frail in these units and will crack or break. This will cause the VCR to fail in play, record, fast forward, or rewind. The VCR may accept the tape then eject it immediately or try to load tape around the video head but stop part way. The most common symptom of a faulty idler is the VCR failing to turn the reels. Your price for our MBK-106-I kit is $6.50. See photo for location of Idler
MBK-106-PRA	The pinch roller assembly in these VCRs can be a source of problems. If the roller is shiny and glazed, the tape travel may not be skewed and inconsistent, causing video and/or audio dropouts, tracking problems, or speed variation. The manufacturer does not offer the roller alone for this model series; the entire pinch roller assembly must be replaced in order to replace the roller. The price for our MBK-106-PRA pinch roller assembly is $13.62. See photo for location of pinch roller
MBK-106-MSW	The mode switch can cause a variety of problems, from intermittent to continuous. The VCR may act erratic - not wanting to accept the cassette, repeatedly turning off the VCR when you try to turn it on, taking in the cassette half-way and then ejecting it, leaving about 6" of tape hanging out of the cassette upon ejecting, or ejecting the cassette when play or record is selected. The mode switch is driven by the large cam gear, right rear side of the top of the deck. The price of the MBK-106-MSW is $7.85.

Our MBK-106-Ldr type Panasonic Carriage - $39.50
