This one's a little bit different insofar as we're fixing the eject issue I created when I broke a small piece of plastic off whilst installing the toploading system in a previous video on the Sony SL8000 Betamax video recorder.

Just a short one this week as there's lots going on with other repairs that just aren't quite finished yet.
