After recording the video I checked and the belt looked perfect so I left it alone. I was quite luck though since I know some belts like to change back into goop.

You tell him buddy

Glad you liked my video!

Honestly I thought the tv set was on channel 3 when I turned it on. That is why I was really confused. Most of my digital tuning based tv's start on channel 3 when I first plugged them in.

Was ch 8 here in uk

@@carlmannion708 Actually ch 36, with the preset number being 8. Most American tuners are different in that regard.

I am by no means an expert on VCR units as i have only fixed a few but I used a little bit of isopropyl alcohol (91 percent) where the sticky grease/oil was and it seemed to free it up pretty well after moving the head around by hand. i also used a very thin oil. it seemed to work perfectly afterward. Also thank you for the input on the video i will keep it in mind.

@@8tracktech48 okay, thank you for telling. I’m definitely not good at repairing VCRs so anything helps me!

Once I dealt with a drum in a mid '80s Akai that was frozen solid, and just for fun I sticked a screwdriver in one of the holes on the top of the drum, and smacked the handle of the screwdriver. The bearing freed up with a big cracking sound and the VCR was working for years after this, although the drum was quite noisy. But I don't recommend this bodge method as it can even break the rotary transformer. This was a 20 years old, worn out VCR in the early '00s, it was its last chance and there was nothing to loose, that's why I've done it. If the bearings are not worn, just the grease dried in, mix some sewing machine oil and WD40 or penetrating oil (the kind that is used for loosening corroded screws), about 1:1 ratio and add a few drops of that into the bearings (immediately after mixing them, don't wait because the solvents of the penetrating oil evaporates). The bottom bearing is usually accessible if you remove the rotor from the drum motor, but to access the top bearing, you have to take apart the head drum completely, separate the two halves of the rotary transformer. Be very careful as there are very thin, custom selected shim washers on the shaft both from the top and the bottom bearing's side, don't loose them or mix them up, as these set the distance between the two halves of the rotary transformer and between the bottom bearing and the rotor of the drum motor. Don't let the lubricant to seep into the rotary transformer, it might damage the glue that holds the windings. If you go this far, you might look up the number on the bearings and order new ones, but that can be risky because the thickness of the bearings have a lot higher tolerance than their diameters, so the original shim washers might not be good for the new bearings. Try to mark the position of the shaft to the position of the drum motor rotor holder plate, because that's what describes the head switching point (PG signal), you will have to readjust that after you're done. The adjustment is electronic with a trimmer pot, but the mechanical position of the PG signal has to be within a few degrees where it originally was, because the range of the electronic adjustment is limited. And be careful not to flip the heads when you reinstall the upper drum.

Thankfully they were fine as it looked like quite the process to get the power supply out to change the caps.

framework baby!

I think the sata power plug is different so if you were able to somehow adapt it it may work but I am not completely sure.

U need to change the whole motherboard for that

@@cantthinkofaname.1758 yes but its upgradable, you can use the old motherboard as a standalone pc with a 3d printed case or by buying one from framework. It mounts easily behind a monitor or a tv. Its a step in the right direction.

It will work by heating it up and removing

I mean, with really enough determination you could just solder a new one on.

with enough money and patience you can upgrade it as well

Thank you!

Sorry I don't have the manual. I hope the video helps.

Definitely panasonic

Switch mode power supply😮

@@carlmannion708 Looks like a PV-1525 rebadge. Switching power supply and D1 mechanism chassis.

Vacuum tube are similar to a light bulb but instead of being built to produce light, the filaments are built to release electrons and to act similar to a transistor but far less efficiently. They are also similar in construction to light bulbs as air is either removed or a gas is added to the inside of the enclosure to avoid the tungsten filament burning up. You can think of a tube or a vacuum tube as a old school transistor built in a different way. Or as a transistor and a light bulb combined together. Tube is just short for vacuum tube.

too new. It wants to do fancy stuff 97 didn't have under the hood.

@@JimConner huh

I still use Office 2002 because that's what I grew up with in middle and high school I graduated 2010 and we were still using XP machines it's the a version of office I know how to use

Still works just fine Office 2007 but 97 is a whole new ball game!
