I received one of these for free. It came with everything; the remote, battery, manuals, shoulder strap and a compatible video camera. I want to fix it and need to start with the cassette door not shutting. Thanks for sharing the internals of this machine. I'm kinda hoping my unit just works after I fix the door not closing because the internals look very intimidating haha
I'm glad I found this video because I bought one of these for 8 dollars a few days ago and the belt for the loading motor is just...completely melted, and I genuinely don't know how to get to it.
@@probnotstech I learned not to use rubber bands the hard way when my portable Betamax machine got jammed because I used rubber bands in place of the tape counter belts.
Hallo from Sweden.I an exacly like this machin,it don,t eject so i have open it like you did.I will get a new belt from ebay, i have not open it like you did,but i will do that so i mont the belt easy.The player is in mint condition on outside. So i will hope that the vhs machin work wiht a new belt.
LP seems very inconsistent with quality. It has less noise than EP due to the track buffer, but quality depends on the video head width. JVCs with a narrower EP head will have much worse LP quality than an older Panasonic with 25-32u heads.
two things , your rubber belt is a bit too stretchy for the loading mech to tighten the tape guides in position second your mentioned muffled audio and odd startup behavior is indicator of bad capacitors
I have a device like this. I also cut the plastic to reach the transmission and indeed the operation succeeded... but I need a head because what I have needs to be changed. because it is damaged
@@probnotstech I think you are right, image quality is not all that great and mono sound. Smaiil (semi) professional players or recorders with hifi sound made by Panasonic are of excellent quality and can be sold for more than 100 bucks, This Mitsubishi on a guess 10-to 20

When you said you might cut the plastic I thought you meant a neat cut with a dremel not with pliers lmao.
Great video!
I thought about a dremel, but I was worried I'd cut too deep and get plastic bits all over the inside.
Thanks for sharing your video. I am glad to see that you have managed to repair this vhs recorder. I like its design. It’s retro.
I was given a similar portable VCR back in the 90's. Not Mitsubishi but made by Sharp (VC-2300).
30:00 'Dew indicator' means it's detected some dampness or needs to adjust to room temperature before use
The one on mine was completely goo. I managed to pry up the assembly to get room for the belt. Plays really good now though.
That's the coolest vcr I've ever seen 😳😁
Neat little machine. The loading belt is a SCB7.0 (original part number: 521D03801).
Good to know, thanks! I'm actually amazed how well this rubber band is working for now. At least the belt replacement will be easier now.

They definitely won't last, but I've had success using them in a pinch. Just gotta remember to change them out when the correct belt arrives.

I liked LP because you can record longer without loosing picture quality
You always lose quality in LP mode on any VCR.
LP seems very inconsistent with quality. It has less noise than EP due to the track buffer, but quality depends on the video head width. JVCs with a narrower EP head will have much worse LP quality than an older Panasonic with 25-32u heads.
That thing is snazzy!

Bel modello
I'm pretty sure at least one person back in the day tried to plug an AC cord into those antenna pins lol.
I felt uncomfortable with liz peering over the top of that Citizen
Found Moisty's comment
I remember a Sanyo portlable beta hifi machine but never saw MIts portable.
Sanyo had a Beta Hi-Fi similar to this.
You mean the VCR-7300? That thing looks really cool.
That machine was of much better quality.
Sir please the VCR is sale
the audio sounds like wow and flatter ha interesting
how much wight kg
Adilson 🙏🙏
How much is it worth?
Hard to say, but I doubt all that much. It's got the cool factor (to me anyway), but as far as a VCR it's far from the best you can find.
@@probnotstech I have one for sale.

It does not look original now.
