Doe anyone know where I can find a replacement heads or upper video drum for HR-S7000U seems like parts are hard to come by and parts units are over $200 for a possible good part! Update (12/17/2022) Ii did the same thing been looking for weeks for the manual found the HR-S7000EU it was a different beast all together here a shot of the drum
Hi @stereo068 Here are the drum sub assembly and the upper drum assembly (supplier example only) for the recorder. The part numbers are JVC LP20617-008A and LP20030-015A respectively. Here’s the service manual for the recorder. The chassis and mechanical parts list is on p.26-27. Search online using the part number only to maybe find other suppliers. i didn’t look too hard ;-) As you said there’s not much out there but maybe you can find either a used S7800U/U(C), HR-S2110T or S6700KR recorder at a reasonable price and use that as a parts donor.
