Re: New Here! Trouble with RCA VMT-395 VCR
Here's a picture I took before replacing the belts, I believe I see it. Here's another picture I kinda got of the loading mechanism on the top with that gray looking grease....

Re: New Here! Trouble with RCA VMT-395 VCR
Checked those, both the correct size and not slipping, it looks like it's trying to spin after mostly loading, if I give it that little push by hand it seems to fully engage, but once I disengage it (i.e using reverse or stop) it's back to square one. Thank you for the reply!...

New Here! Trouble with RCA VMT-395 VCR
Hello there all!
I recently acquired an RCA VMT-395 VCR, it was working quite well for about 3 days until it stopped playing, it would fast forward and rewind but when I press play it would pull up the tape but the tape doesn't move so after a few seconds it shuts down (I guess because it's detecting a jam). So I found that the belts were pretty worn out and slipping on the loading mechanism, so I did some digging and found a belt kit on ebay, after cleaning the pulleys and installing the belts it fast forwards and reminds a lot better and the belts no longer slip on the loading mechanism....

Hello there! My name is Frankie, I am into a lot of retro equipment mainly consisting of my Cassette deck, amp and VCR! I am relatively new to servicing these things and came across this forum! I look forward to chatting!Last edited by SMDFlea; 10-26-2021, 06:47 AM.
