Emerson VCR Repair - Won't Fast Forward or Rewind

- Note: The repair portion of this video is only about 14 minutes. The rest of the video is an experiment that I wanted to try with making a belt for it with my 3D printer and Flex Paste. It would be worth trying different materials for this to see what would work and not work. This could save the hassle of searching the internet for the right size belt. Belt kits will most likely not have the size you need. Since it is the main drive belt, it usually is sold separately. If you're in a pinch, use a rubber band, but they won't last long at all.
Great video, I really like that you put in the video what didn't work the first time. That's how we learn, from our mistakes. Great job!
Thanks! Repaired a VCR yesterday and your video was very helpful!
I'm happy it helped you. Thanks.
Exelent video. Same problem with a SONY vcr that did not wanted to FF or Rewind it was a worn out belt.
Hey you gave it a go, and a bit of fun :-D
I imagine the makers of belts coat a drum with rubber, then cut rings off with sharp blade wheels, maybe lol.
I havnt a clue really.
I have had a lot of belts just turn into black goo, horrible stuff to get off mechanisms :-(
Great video everything proven vhs tapes are full screen everything proven people like myself are fixing tv settings y they are never set up right at all
I’ve taken all of what necessary screws appearing to need to be removed but I also can’t detach the two cables to the motherboard
It may have a connector that is on the circuit board that is holding it together. You still should be able to move most of it up and down a little though even if it's still in the connector. For the cables, check to see if they don't come out at the other end instead of off the motherboard.
I am struggling to take apart a 4head toshiba vcr to see if the belt is why it’s eating tapes and not spinning as I can push the center gear over to the end side and get it to play but even pushing it back to the head side to rewind it pushes the gear away so there’s nothing holding it in place… I just can’t get it apart
This is what I'm talking about. I was notified of a comment by Jose Cooli, and I cannot reply to his comment to answer his question. I don't get it. Anyway, Jose, I do not make VCR belts. That was just something I tried and it failed after about 5 times of playing a movie. Hopefully, you see this.
Problem now is that the door will not open when ejecting a tape. Cannot see what is working right or wrong
Email upon a request.
There is a little lever that should be touching the door that when the tape ejects, will pull the door open. open the door before you put the front plate together with the body of the vcr. That should help you.
Good vidéo thanks , wich kind of Grease is ok for the mode switch? Same as for mecanisme?
A small amount of lithium grease should work everywhere. A small amount goes a long way.
@@ElectronicsEditor I'm surprised lithium grease worked since it is not conductive and the innards of the mode switch need conductivity between the rings on one piece and the prongs from the opposite piece.
@@Marcoosianism The grease is just so the contacts don't start to dig into each other over time. It's so they slide easily across each other while still making contact. If the lithium grease was conductive, it would short all the contacts together, and we don't want that.
Mine is having the exact opposite problem. It will stop and Rewind or stop and fast forward but it won't fast forward or rewind during play. It actually won't even play. It just freezes as soon as I press play and then it stops and turns the whole VCR off and when I turn the VCR back on the first thing it does is eject the tape.
Make sure the belt is not to loose. that could cause that problem. Try putting a rubber band on it (a little smaller than the belt) in place of the belt and see if it works properly and that will tell you if its the belt or not.

Good video ; i've a 90s VCR which drum keeps spinning without stop, once power on (even there's no tape).
The tape can well roll onto drum but fail to play / rewind or forward. Press "play" without video output ; VCR displays from "play" to "Stop" itself (but the drum is still spinning).
Do you have any comment / advice to me ?
Great thanks !
You can try to clean the mode switch. It sounds like things don't know where they're supposed to be at startup.
@@ElectronicsEditor Thank you very much, will try your suggestion.
He didn't stop it and Rewind it or fast forward with it and that was the problem in the first place
No the actual problem is a worn out belt it also happened to my Sony vcr
