i've just been looking in the 8444/8443 deck, it has the usual disintegrated Play gear cog, do i need to find the exact gear cog or have any of you ever found a different one out of something else ? TIA
A lot of Philips mechanisms suffer from gears breaking into small pieces. This ebay-seller has replacement gears for a lot of different brands/types: https://www.ebay.nl/sch/appleof666sodom/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
