cassette repair parts - where to buy?

Just picked up a ghetto blaster here - Sony CFS-1000. Not sure when it's from, looks late 80s to me.

 

Tape mechanism in this unit seems great, it has cue function, and a nice big 1/2" pinch roller instead of the crappy little ones newer decks have. No Dolby, but for the $10 I paid I am not complaining. Tape speed is very stable, even piano sounds good. Nice and bright too, the tape head is in good shape.

 

Question is simple - where do you guys go when you need new pinch rollers, or tape motors, etc. MCM seems to have discontinued a lot of cassette stuff, and while there's some online suppliers I wonder what's preferred?
