    I noticed while you were taking this apart that you mentioned the capstan motor was an “open frame” motor. Now I took apart a Panasonic 1231r and it had the same kind of motor and I mean exactly the same except it had a driver board attached to it. I was experimenting with the board to try and power the motor and I made a short about it you can find on my channel but you can see it doesn’t really work. So I was wondering if you have any information about these types of motors or even better, that specific model.

    Mid fix, during a drunken night 2months apparently I didn’t only destroy my monitor but my left knuckle, head of the control was disconnected from the base wouldn’t even turn on, got lucky because it was just a cable that got unplugged but it was very awkward to plug back in because I had to figure out how to dissemble the controller enough to plug it in. Ended up just muscling thru it to plug it in. TLDR I took off the top part with a knife cuz I didn’t have a screw driver, might have destroyed the joystick cuz that shit poped off with the top but at least now the controller turns on

    Regarding the automatic/no manual adjustments input voltage thingy: Not all switch mode supplies have an ability to work over this full range. It depends on the controller IC or scheme used for the duty cycle control of the transistors switching the signal on the primary side. That being said, pretty much every PSU out there with Active PFC will have this ability, since the active PFC works as a DC boost converter after the rectifier and as such, the primary side DC voltage is almost always the same regardless of the input voltage. What an absolute treat of a service manual though! "National" was always the same as Panasonic. They originally sold it under the National brand because Matsushita thought the Panasonic brand name wouldn't jive well in the US market. But as Panasonic did end up gaining traction they unified the two lines. They are the same machines, with a different name, for the purpose of sounding less foreign-made. :')

    • @Elecami
      @Elecami 4 дні тому

      These power supplies are from before Active PFC was common. Often the Power supply that could operate at 110 or 220V would have a would have a Tirac or similar that would convert the rectifier into a voltage doubler when operating in 110V Mode. I did a video about these things.

    HiFi stereo audio changed the experience of watching movies at home forever in the 80's. Though for a time you had to pick and choose hired movies that had the HiFi sound. If I recall correctly, the HiFi audio signal is recorded first, just before the video track is and the video track wipes out 80% of the HiFi signal on the tape immediately. Think of it like layers pushed into the tape. Then the HiFi heads have to recover the signal on playback. Due to the difference in frequency between the video and audio signals, the heads were unaware of each other's signals so the HiFi track did not affect non HiFi machines. The 850 ran pretty high back tension so they were hard on the HiFi heads compared to the later models. People used to record CD's onto HiFi VHS as it was next best thing at the time if you wanted a copy of a friend's disc.

    • @Elecami
      @Elecami 4 дні тому

    Thanks for the teardown, it's hard to express how far ahead this machine was compared to what else was around at the time. Just a marvel of flat motors and miniaturisation that had few known issues. And for a VHS deck, it had a great picture so they didn't cut corners. One thing I was told back in the day was to not rotate the hydrodynamic bearing backwards, only turn them in the direction of normal rotation, even when just cleaning the drum by hand. You will encounter that bearing in non-portable Nat/Pana VCR's that came with the later G and K mechanism, models with the prefix 'D', 'H', 'F', 'FS' and 'HS'. (PAL models)

    The unit does RGB, S-Video and CVBS switching but no conversions between them. It's fixed architecture audio DSP is its real neat secret but you can't access it without a pc via USB using the manager software. Speaker relays are for muting, 70 volt output mode is activated in the software. Out of the box it runs stereo, low impedance out. Being a device from the 90's it has the appearance of a familiar analogue audio device from the front panel but with a decent DSP running inside, the faders are not passing audio, audio levels can be controlled remotely via RS232 or a remote potentiometer if you use the DB25 connector.

    The X700's are next to indestructible. The only pain with them now is there are no USB drivers for Windows beyond Win7 when trying to configure it via the manager software.

      It is annoying good hardware can't be used due to not supported software.

    That squealing sound reminds me of when a Commodore 64 data cassette tape is played in an audio cassette player. And you've been scrapping VCRs for over 30 years? To be honest I thought you were much younger than that, like your early to mid 20s.

      Been doing electronics things since I was very young. Pleading with my mother to take me to the TV / Video / Stereo Service centers to ask if they had any stuff they were throwing out.

    I always thought it odd that these G7, G10 weren't using the 'G' deck mechanism which I think started at the NVG21 if I recall.

      It is strange. The Real 'G' Mechanism starts at G20.

    National made absolutely great VHS gear in that era. The NV-180 portapak of that era was a wonder with all direct drive motors.

      They do seem to have the nicest designed mechanisms.

    In todays throw away world, can you imagine them even bothering writing such a comprehensive service manual. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Other than replaceable rubber components and the back-tension band, they were very reliable machines.

    • @Elecami

      Thanks. They did put a lot of work into the service manual and the other training and service hints books.

      Probably because the capacitors in the power supply circuits have gone bad. That is the most common problem these days.
