Last 12 months I have had several jobs capturing old family VHS videos for friends. Luckily I had kept 3 recorders, a Panasonic, and two Samsungs. That's probably another reason why people are looking for VHS machines as well as Video8 and DV cameras. I just finished capturing, editing and converting 18 X 90 minute Video8 tapes, all fully recorded. I did not have a Video8 camera and managed to find two Sony camcorders after asking around. The first had a good picture on the viewfinder, but distorted video and audio from the composite/mono outputs. The second, I was assured, was in working order, also composite/mono sound configuration, but as it was being retrieved from a high shelf, it was DROPPED. Will not power on. Finally, I tried a long time friend who told me he had a Sony camcorder that worked last time he tried it, ten years ago, and said I was welcome to take it. Upon retrieval it turned out to be a versatile self-sensing analogue OR digital machine, with stereo audio out AND svideo output as well as the digital output. I hooked it up to my Blackmagic Design capture card using the svideo/analogue audio outputs and it worked beautifully! My friend said it had only ever had two tapes run through it. Job done!
Those thick-film units were always trouble. The caps used in there look identical to the ones used in the Sega Game Gear, also from around the same era. They are almost always 100% toast! You then end up with a console that behaves in a similar fashion to those Casio LCD pocket TV's you fixed previously! Gotta love nineties tech!
I've been watching my decades old VHS tapes the past couple years. Love to watch the old shows and movies I recorded when I was younger. Watching the "Babylon 5" series lately. I bought a JVC SVHS HiFi machine last year on eBay cheap with a dirty mode switch. Been working great since I cleaned it up.
Thank you very much for this. I have a Magnavox VR2072 with a similar mechanism. It was a top end deck in 1988 (but is a step down from the SVHS machines). I actually like to dub my own tapes. One thing that I try to do is make tapes that feel like you are sitting in a theater in the 1930s (my grandfather was a projectionist). I compile a number of movies from the same era (for instance, I put together a tape of depression era westerns and fill it with cartoons from that same time). The Sharp VC-6846U is a great mono unit that has the sound that would make say, a digital remaster of an old movie actually sound like I am watching the movie through an analog projector. DVD issues to my ears use aggressive noise reduction when I know that analog projectors would have a more "compressed" sound like older radios. The aforementioned Sharp does a good job at replicating that "tube sound" in my opinion.
I have watched you fix some of your betamax and vhs machines and now this one. You are an amazing technician at that and how fast you can find the problems and fix them. Cheers Mate.
They are not as good as r2r. All hifi video sound is companded. Very similar to dbx, but not exactly the same so they didn't have to license it. You can hear it working if you listen closely. A warbling sound.

PV7541… the drum on mine ticks pretty loud. I think it’s a soldered board on the bottom of the drum, slightly raising the chip makes the sound go away. But all the mechanisms seem great otherwise

@@12voltvids many of these Panasonic vcrs from the early 90s would sometimes have a weak power supply. I saw an rca panasonic vr323 but it was a 4 head HI-FI deck rather than 4 head mono or 2 head.

Can't say I've really noticed much of a difference in price for vcrs or demand still plenty available on auction sites, which is good as I'm a sad git and collect them, i hunt around on ebay from time to time looking for broken highend machines, i just bought a Panasonic nvhs950 super vhs deck for £40, in pristine condition not many hours use, it looked like soneone had got a tape stuck and ripped it out and snapped off one of the p guides which is incredible considering their all metal either that or someone's been messing around, lucky i have a couple that use similar ones so just replaced the 2 that wrap the tape around the drum and did a tape path alignment and its working great, nice little machine i seem to be lucky with Panasonics of late all the ones I've bought range from 1990 to 1995 G or K mechanisms inside quality mechs.
I remember back in the day when people used to pay $100 plus to have heads replaced in their VCRs especially if it was a 4-Head or 6-Head HI-FI machine as they used to cost hundreds of dollars to buy new.
You did put way much work i would had for something that would end up being sold for 20$.... and since the hi-fi isn't still working properley, I don't know if you did, but i would had advertised it as a non-hi-fi machine. Nevertheless, I love watching your videos, I'm myself fixing a lot of those old beta and vhs machines so, every knowledge share is great! I guess I should mount a cam over my bench and make some french live videos as I fix some stuff as well. Cheers!
I have a Toshiba VCR that works great, but for some reason won't detect the hifi. I know it's not the tapes bc I also have another similar Toshiba that does. The picture and sound in general is good, but the hifi won't work at all. I tried cleaning the heads and messing the azimuth slightly but still nothing
There are many reasons why HiFi audio won't work. The process of recording HiFi is much more involved then linear audio. For starters the audio is modulated onto 2 carriers. These signals are then recorded at a high level into the tape in what is called deep layer recording as very different azimuth angles. +-30'. The video is then recorded overtop of the audio at -+6'. This gives a 36' azimuth shift between the deep layer and surface recording of the video which incidentally when it plows over the audio that was previously recorded it erases about 60% of the signal. There is enough left however that with the steep angle difference the audio heads can pick up the weak signal that remains and amplify the crap our of it, then filter it to get rid of video and chroma that will be present and finally demodulate the signal. As I said lots going on. No audio could be worn heads or a failure of circuitry in the demod circuit. This is one of the things that was superrior with beta, and 8mm for that matter. The audio was recorded between the lower sideband of the lumanence signal and the down converted color. These formats could do it because there was bandwidth available. VHS on the other hand with it's lower bandwidth had to find another way to do it. 2 more heads and a ton of processing. All that extra crap means the HiFi signal is fragile and if anything is a little off, alignment head wear cap leakage ecy the result is muted HiFi and the linear track is selected.
@@12voltvids gotcha and yeah I know it's definitely an issue with the VCR bc I have 2. They're both toshibas and very similar to each other. The one is just a slightly more higher end model and sadly that's the one with the issue. It plays tapes perfectly and has both picture and audio, but the audio is just limited to the linear track. It doesn't switch to hifi no matter what I do, but the sound it has is clear with no dropouts or anything. The other VCR detects the hifi immediately and the picture quality between the 2 is nearly identical too.
I have a Panasonic VHS VCR it states it can record in Stereo Hifi, when i dubbed a tape which has Stereo, the copied tape plays in Mono. What could be the issue.
I have only very slight audio on a fb75 can just hear it if headphones are plugged in and what there is is very distorted and not any audio on line outs ,it has a great picture though ,I have new genuine panasonic heads for my 1985 NV-730 this machine is fine at the moment though.
@@12voltvids im glad you got the hifi to come in despite the slight noise in the sound still. Im sure the PUA3228 Cap drive ic2 is good. Hopefully it wont go bad anytime soon.

@@12voltvids It's definitely not the lead vapors ;) But IIRC I've read something about occupational asthma being higher. Just try to solder for a few hours and if your room is kinda closed you'll notice it. So if you do it for years it might have an effect ...
@@machannel8746 Well I did it for 20 years and the shop had no ventilation. In fact the boss would close the door to the shop to stop customers from just walking in and "wasting my time talking to me". The stink from cleaners was almost unbearable. Occupational Hazzard i would say. I'm no worse for wear. In my shop i have good ventilation as i can just open the big door and it will air out quickly and open the side door to get good air flow. Naturally when it is freezing I don't but I am not using many chemicals these days and I don't produce alot of smoke soldering. Nothing compared to what people that smoke or toke do to their lungs. Tobacco and marijuana smoke has far more carcinogenic chemicals than rosin smoke and people intentionally suck it deeply into their lungs and hold their breath for maximum damage. I don't intentionally inhale smoke. I actually avoid it.
What do you think it causes high frequency noise in linear audio in JVC VCR's? I've sent you an e-mail about this VCR problem with audio samples, If you get chance check it out if you are busy don't worry about it. You may actually end up fixing it.
On PCBs you can, but the delicate pads cleaning process can be very time consuming. Depending of the corrosion state you have to scrape, rub with white vinegar/IPA, sometimes redo the pad with copper foil or redo the track or via with a thin enamelled wire, etc. For modules, if it remains simple (for example only few caps/resistors), it could be possible to recreate the module. In this case, we have the luck that resin don't cover it entirely so we can measure the painted resistors, it may be possible to design a PCB as a replacement, reusing the custom IC of course. Some arcade game boards can revive with this kind of recreated modules. So, there are solutions, but it highly depends of what you want to do, considering the required time and soldering/designing level.
I have a Mickey mouse 8mm movie film were Mickey mouse puts on blackface by putting a firecracker in his mouth and lighting it! It was from 1932. Back in the 60s they sold shorts on silent 8mm for movie night at home.
I found A Fisher VCR that as both linear stereo head & plays stereo & Hi-Fi tapes as some older decks only had stereo tapes before HiFi. If u recorded in HiFi it will play HiFi but if you have a VCR with no HiFi but plays stereo then it will play linear stereo. Never seen this but usually Hi-Fi VCR's will record mono linear. Recorded HiFi movies & music tapes are linear mono not stereo.
Sony were ok. They had issues. Capstan motor bearing, seized up p6 guide, blue threading gear, power supply leaky caps. Other than that they were good solid performers.
what if the hifi stereo is intermittent? could be dirty heads? but the picture is fine. it depends on the tape, some tapes play with the hifi always on
The way VHS HiFi what's recorded I'm surprised it even plays back at all. Beatrice Hi-Fi uses what they called deep layer recording where the signal is recorded deep into the tape and then the video is laid down on top of it at a different angle. the overlay video signal erases approximately 70% of the audio signal that was previously recorded just before the video signal was laid down over top of it. On playback the only reason you can even detect the audio FM signals that have been over recorded by the FM lumanence signal and the double side band audio signals is due to the 36' azimuth shift between the heads and the narrow band of the audio signals with respect to the video. First two heads have to actually detect the signal and then the singles need to be filtered out from all the noise. as tapes age the weaker audio signals 10 to get lost in the mud just due to self eraser that coupled with the fact that the heads we're down on your playback machine making the recovery impossible. I have multiple VHS machines here that I use for archiving and I would estimate that 1 in 10 tapes I have to switch to mono to get clean sound as the tape has deteriorated and Hi-Fi recovery is not possible. when a customer complains about this site just say too bad so sad you waited too long your tape is shot you're lucky to get anything off of it.
I got a old VCR so I could play my tapes for my kids like the Natural Born Killers movie my friends and I spliced crime scene photos & Marilyn Manson, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult songs into. The modern version of Natural Born Killers was ruined by editing it to be politically correct.
My people are very nostalgic about their stuff. Some of us crave the "hands on" experience.

1970 needs many parts. Will have to pick parts off the parts wrecker.
@@12voltvids It's definitely not the lead vapors ;) But IIRC I've read something about occupational asthma being higher. Just try to solder for a few hours and if your room is kinda closed you'll notice it. So if you do it for years it might have an effect ...

Well I did it for 20 years and the shop had no ventilation. In fact the boss would close the door to the shop to stop customers from just walking in and "wasting my time talking to me". The stink from cleaners was almost unbearable. Occupational Hazzard i would say. I'm no worse for wear. In my shop i have good ventilation as i can just open the big door and it will air out quickly and open the side door to get good air flow. Naturally when it is freezing I don't but I am not using many chemicals these days and I don't produce alot of smoke soldering. Nothing compared to what people that smoke or toke do to their lungs. Tobacco and marijuana smoke has far more carcinogenic chemicals than rosin smoke and people intentionally suck it deeply into their lungs and hold their breath for maximum damage. I don't intentionally inhale smoke. I actually avoid it.
What is the Panasonic model number for this repair video? Nothing ventured; nothing gained. Thanks ✔✔😊😊

What do you think it causes high frequency noise in linear audio in JVC VCR's? I've sent you an e-mail about this VCR problem with audio samples, If you get chance check it out if you are busy don't worry about it. You may actually end up fixing it.
I have no idea.
Can surface mount caps be replaced?
I have not had success on these ceramic modules
On PCBs you can, but the delicate pads cleaning process can be very time consuming. Depending of the corrosion state you have to scrape, rub with white vinegar/IPA, sometimes redo the pad with copper foil or redo the track or via with a thin enamelled wire, etc.
For modules, if it remains simple (for example only few caps/resistors), it could be possible to recreate the module. In this case, we have the luck that resin don't cover it entirely so we can measure the painted resistors, it may be possible to design a PCB as a replacement, reusing the custom IC of course. Some arcade game boards can revive with this kind of recreated modules.
So, there are solutions, but it highly depends of what you want to do, considering the required time and soldering/designing level.
@@geraldv203 remember the encapsulated modules that Sony and Akai used. Try fixing one of those.
That's awesome..... What can I do to get the sound on a cassette player That's near 40 years old?????????????
i have a panasonic hi fi vcr that shuts off if i push the record button
People use them also for music like a big cassette deck some sound awesome too.
Only when recorded on a deck with manual audio level. Most of the later models it was auto level.
I grew up with Song of the South, Disney doesn't make that available at all now.
I have a Mickey mouse 8mm movie film were Mickey mouse puts on blackface by putting a firecracker in his mouth and lighting it! It was from 1932. Back in the 60s they sold shorts on silent 8mm for movie night at home.
yes nothing beats the wet finger test
a other great video repair
we are Siamese if you please
Thanks dave.
My Siamese cat approves.
I found A Fisher VCR that as both linear stereo head & plays stereo & Hi-Fi tapes as some older decks only had stereo tapes before HiFi. If u recorded in HiFi it will play HiFi but if you have a VCR with no HiFi but plays stereo then it will play linear stereo. Never seen this but usually Hi-Fi VCR's will record mono linear. Recorded HiFi movies & music tapes are linear mono not stereo.
How do rate Sony vçrs then
Sony were ok. They had issues. Capstan motor bearing, seized up p6 guide, blue threading gear, power supply leaky caps. Other than that they were good solid performers.
You Can Use A Small Hot Air Station Or A Heat gun.
it's Very George Orwell for people to be looking for old movies...!!
what if the hifi stereo is intermittent? could be dirty heads? but the picture is fine. it depends on the tape, some tapes play with the hifi always on
The way VHS HiFi what's recorded I'm surprised it even plays back at all. Beatrice Hi-Fi uses what they called deep layer recording where the signal is recorded deep into the tape and then the video is laid down on top of it at a different angle. the overlay video signal erases approximately 70% of the audio signal that was previously recorded just before the video signal was laid down over top of it. On playback the only reason you can even detect the audio FM signals that have been over recorded by the FM lumanence signal and the double side band audio signals is due to the 36' azimuth shift between the heads and the narrow band of the audio signals with respect to the video. First two heads have to actually detect the signal and then the singles need to be filtered out from all the noise. as tapes age the weaker audio signals 10 to get lost in the mud just due to self eraser that coupled with the fact that the heads we're down on your playback machine making the recovery impossible. I have multiple VHS machines here that I use for archiving and I would estimate that 1 in 10 tapes I have to switch to mono to get clean sound as the tape has deteriorated and Hi-Fi recovery is not possible. when a customer complains about this site just say too bad so sad you waited too long your tape is shot you're lucky to get anything off of it.
What about the missing door ? I wouldn't buy this without a door, not even for 20 bucks. But its just me
Obviously it is broken off. It did sell for 20 bucks so there.
you really killed the snake and showed the stick
Sir national vcr j1 ka no video &audio foult ka video karo
Disney vhs movie tapes used macrovision, so you can't easily convert to DVD.
Edit: PC has ruined a lot of things.
they were probably making these modules with daughterboards to make machines a bit smaller. silly.
How dare they **** with the aristocats
👍👍😎✌️
I got a old VCR so I could play my tapes for my kids like the Natural Born Killers movie my friends and I spliced crime scene photos & Marilyn Manson, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult songs into. The modern version of Natural Born Killers was ruined by editing it to be politically correct.
Its a woke woke woke world.

this political correctness is about to make me puke
Bruh
Gee, I wonder if they're going to edit all the films where Samuel L Jackson or Denzel Washington use the N word... Bunch of hypocrites...
I knew one moron would only focus on that part of the video.
Hi sar mobile number please reply sar my VCR service and

I don't think so.
