Picture of Panasonic replacement spindle motor kit

Thought you guys might be interested in this. This is a photo I took of the RXQ1218KIT, to replace the bad spindle motor on my broken Panasonic DVD-RP82.

Those of you who love playing DualDiscs on your players may wish to skip the next paragraph.

As you can notice, the spindle motor is tiny, not bigger than an Australian 20 cents coin. This thing is supposed to spin a disc up to DVD 1X speed. Those of you who think that DualDiscs (which are physically thicker and heavier than regular discs) are completely safe may want to reconsider, because as you can see there isn't much of a manufacturing tolerance for the spindle motor to accept heavier than normal discs. As it is, my old spindle motor broke just playing normal discs.
