I've a problem with a Realistic 16-518 VCR.  The cassette does not load 
properly, sometimes trying to thread the tape before the cassette is fully 
inserted.  I've found a broken gear in the loading motor mechanism.  

Is it feasible to repair, or shall I farm it out?  It's a bit over a year old.
If it's fixable by me, where can I get the parts?  I've fixed VCR's before, 
but never have I had to change out gears. 

Thanks in advance.
