Repair notes

 

Full repair description and observations

 

1

The belts and idler tyre solved the REW / FF problem, but I was a bit puzzled why the STOP would not come into opertaion

 

 

2

Well it was not that much problem! The Stop microswitch button was broken. Replaced and the stop was working fine again

 

 

3

Like most other VCR by this owner, after mechanical part was solved, the video head prooved to be faulty. The picture was quite snowwy and the tracking could not be adjusted.

 

 

4

I repaced a new video but there where still picture and tracking problems, but not much as with the previous head. I tried to adjust the control/audio head screws and the rabbit alignment rollers but this did never produced a faithful steady picture. Even after 2 hours trying to coincide the 5 setting (left tape guide roller, right tape guide roller, 3 screws on Audio / control head)  no progress,
