We have several maintenance kits for these VCRs, manufactured by Sanyo/Fisher under the above brand names.

MBK-31: Belt Kit	Contains both belts ... the loading belt, and the capstan/idler belt. Almost everything about these VCRs is influenced by belts in one way or another. Belt problems range from won't take a tape to fails to play, to the VCR shuts down. Replacing belts should be your first troubleshooting step. Your price for our MBK-31 kit is $2.50. Instructions included. Instructions for installation (PDF) See photo for belt locations.
MBK-31P: Complete Rubber Kit	This kit is a complete rubber replacement kit for these Sanyo/Fisher VCRs. It contains both belts, and the pinch roller. If the pinch roller has never been replaced you probably need one. If the pinch roller has a hard glaze on it or the capstan shaft has a black build up on it the pinch roller has probably been slipping. Your price for our MBK-31P kit is $9.00. Instructions included. Instructions for installation (PDF) Installation photos (PDF) See photo for parts location.
MBK-31-CG: Carriage Gear	A common problem with this group of VCRs is with the little white gear that drives the carriage. This gear engages the helical gear in the loading assembly. The gear will crack, break, or lose a tooth, causing the VCR to fail to load a cassette or attempt to load without a cassette. You may also want to take a look at our MBK-31-CGRP kit below. Your price for our MBK-31-CG. is $2.50. Instructions included. Instructions for installation (PDF) See photo for parts location.
MBK-31-CGRP: Carriage Repair Kit	These VCRs have a fairly high failure rate with the gears that drive the carriage. Both the small white gear that drives the carriage and the stair stepped gear that drives it tend to loose teeth. This will cause the VCR to fail to load a cassette or attempt to load a nonexistent cassette. This kit includes both gears and instructions for installing and timing the gears. Your price for our MBK-31-CGRP kit is $7.00. Instructions for installation (PDF) See photo for parts location.
