Hi,
I got this VCR in compensation and well, It wouldn't be fun If I didn't f*** something up
doors that won't close completely was easy fix.
I was thinking that someone who messed with VCR before me didn't screw all the way this screw(see picture), but later I found out that this screw is suppost to be like that smh... and now after I clean head and everything I got this kind of situation on video (see videos)
- on first play I got black and white/color exchange white some noise and picture is flickering

- on second play it's like tracking can't control tape or something and tape stopped playing

is that screw that I idiot touched cause of this problem or is it something else ? I did manage to get it back but not sure if it's back like it was before I touched it. VCR was reproducing picture normal without any problem before I re-grease it and touch that screw. Top cover was closed when playing, all cables are inserted all the way. Tracking and audio head are clean already with qtip. Top of that tip is touching the head. After some inspection I found out that one of flex cables looks unglues from that hard plastic that is going inside the slot, so I replace the cable and now I got error on display when I try to insert tape 0AE4, and the tape won't go inside like mechanisam is stuck or something with that error code on display. I don't understand why, cable is same pin identical maybe 1-2cm longer but that don't matter... and it won't go to stand by mode when I press VTR button. And some sound is coming from inside like mechanisam is trying to pull inside tape but it's stuck. Did I screw something big now ?
