It's a shitty Canon camera. The frame is perfectly straight. Close up,  
everything fish-eyes.

There is only one other observation I can make, then give up on  this.  
Unless the camera lens is causing a distortion, the frame  may be bent.  Fix 
it, then proceed.

Well, okay, the spillbox needed to be mounted  on the new brackets.

Another good guess. That wasn't a goof. I wasn't to that  point yet. There 
is an ovious assembly mistake in the first  photo.

Okay, the retention ring and c-clip are  missing from the end of the 
capstan.

Nope, but you're getting close. The clips are  not required for the machine 
to operate  correctly.

It would be much easier to put the  headblock on if the W clips were 
installed  first.

That's why I suspected  you were merely being lazy.  So  find the error. 
Hint: Something in the first  picture is wrong. If  you don't look at a 400 a 
lot, you'll not likely  see it. I'm sure Martin saw it right away. It  was 
not critical, but the machine could not work  correctly as is  was.


Well, it certainly wouldn't produce much of  a signal without the  
headblock!
