Restore your valuable Sony Video8 or Hi8 deck with this high-quality replacement part.
Is your Sony video recorder with an F-mechanism struggling to load or eject cassettes? A very common issue is the failure of the original plastic lift arm. Because these parts have been out of production by Sony for years, Van Eck Video Services has developed a durable solution.
This Arm (S) Driving-A is completely newly manufactured from high-grade nylon. Unlike the original plastic, which becomes brittle and cracks over time, this nylon component offers superior strength and a long service life.
Technical Specifications:
Sony Part No: 3-954-034-01 (also known as ARM (S) DRIVING-A).
Compatibility: Suitable for Sony Video8 and Hi8 decks with an F-mechanism (used in models such as the Sony EV-C2000E, EUB, EVP, and various camcorders).
Reference: Item 160 in diagram 5-4, page 55 of the Service Manual (RMT-V160).
Material: Industrial-grade nylon (wear-resistant and break-proof).
Dimensions: 42 x 22 x 12 mm.
Important Installation Note: Please note: This part is supplied without the metal spring. You can easily transfer the spring from your original (defective) plastic part to this new replacement.
