Turns out you were right! I was able to stick the little plastic tape guide thingy right back where it came from. The glue was still nice and tacky, so it's odd it ever fell off to begin with. Alas, my well came up dry. The video turned out to be nothing more than a bad bootleg of the CBS/Fox video. (With a "please rewind" sticker on it!) At least I have a working Beta deck now.
