EW0112 - National NV-450 VCR Investigation Teardown

Here is a quick look at the National Panasonic NV-450 VHS VCR. The Design of this is very similar to the NV-250 that we previously covered.
Can we get this VCR to work?

Thank you.

[@CandiedC]

I have this thing literally right in front of me as im writing this comment, it’s so bulky that im considering giving it to a friend but if its actually good then I’ll consider allocating the space, what do you suggest?

[@CandiedC]

I have the remote as well btw

[@Elecami]

You want to use it? Just be aware the capacitors will start to leak and go bad. Because this is a very old model.

[@vintagelover3873]

I have same model I brought from london after many years I restored but there is no audio coming from this what must investigate? Any advice

[@Elecami]

Maybe the back tension is gone or not correct. That can cause audio problems because the tape is a bit slack. Check the back tension band around the supply reel.
