Anyone have a clue where I can get parts for an A8?

It's a long story, but I could use a back cover for a Fostex A8 reel to reel.

Any idea where I might find one?

Thanks

Where have you looked?

ebay? Fostex.com?

Ya, I tried the obvious ones, I was hoping there may be some sort of "junkyard" for stuff like this.

I found a pawn shop a couple years back that had a bunch of analog gear in it. You could try that avenue too, if you haven't already.

Another option is to just measure the back and have a sheet metal shop fabricate one for you. You could have it electroplated or spray paint it to match your A8...

That's an idea. Thanks
