This video was a godsend for me. I took my Sony VCR apart to epoxy the loading motor coupler and fix the spring on the reverse break and could not figure out for the life of my why it wouldn't work. It turned out it wasn't in time! Thank you! I'm also going to remove all the factory grease that you said breaks the gears down and replace it with white lithium grease.

Wow!! what a precision job, as I saw in the footage what I would of done is first tack it into place on the outer posts leaving the center post as a guide then using the nubs that came off as I did see those and use them to reinforce the top and melt them into place - but thats just me being as precise - great job there Dave!!!

As manufacturers made things cheaper to build, the quality is made cheaper. Sometimes it's less expensive to replace it than to repair it due to the way it was manufactured.
@lawrencecavens5760
I just thought of something - What you need to prevent a unit from eating a tape that you are trying to see how it's operating is a dummy tape skeleton that can block the sensors and allow the functions operate as if it had a fully loaded cassette in there. This is what I used when I got into cleaning VCR's back in the day and it sure saved a lot of tape eating.
@ronalddavis
damn i wish you were closer i have a vcr/dvd recorder that i suspect mode switch problems
@redra9on857
Quick question. What is your recommendation on meter to check for bad capacitors that are in circuits?
@ickylovelywilliam3961
I came across a smart vcr with a digital mode switch and what made it smart is that if it detected that the vcr was about to eat the tape it would shut itself down and put the vcr into safe mode

I have one of these i just use it as a test unit. Adequate but noticeably plasticky.

Good job saving another one from the landfill.

You have been an absolute savior. I am churning out repaired Betamax's to the world. thank you. I have a strange problem on a 'talking' SL2410 though -> the belt is too tight even without the tension-er. So loading the tape binds the motor and slows it down to a crawl. The belts from the HF series are a different tooth and much bigger so that's a no go. I think this is a stock belt its just simply too tight no matter how I slice it.. I will try to make a video and post it. Have you experienced this phenomena and is there something I am missing? strange indeed.
@kunaca
What do you use to clean the heads and the mode switch?

So cheaply made, I'd be scared to sneeze looking at it

Hey a friend of mine said he had an issue with his camera and flew it out to you to fix. It would mean a lot if I could do the same, I’m more than willing to pay.

I don't want to be rude, but that nasty CRT Whine is extremely loud and has a super high pitch (15'800 Hz) which hurts after a couple of minutes in my ears...
