I had a DVD+vcr combo player that was really nice but it has unfortunately died after taking it apart to remove a stuck DVD (the movement had killed something.) Me being dumb and young I had spend a lot of time trying to fix the power supply, sometimes while it was completely hot and bare because I was dumb. Thankfully I didn't die, but this video reminded me of how stupid I was :P
I've just put this comment on your part two video, just in case you missed it...I might have dreamt this or it might have been a different 8mm recorder you were working on, but didn't you say in a previous video that the capacitors were no longer available to repair these mechines. Or that you could get a few from old remote controls. I live in the UK and have a Sony EVA300ub that at the very least seems to have the same initial loading problem as the EVS you are working on. I'd really like to get it working to use as a player for about 40 8mm tapes recorded back when. I've not ventured inside yet, but I've contacted a few electonic video people who say they can't repair 8mm mechines.
They don't want to get involved because they assume you don't want to spend money on fixing it. As you can see, almost everything is repairable. I fixed a Fostex G16S reel to reel machine that everyone said isn't fixable. After 720 capacitors and around 100 ICs, transistors and diodes, is a perfectly good machine.
@@dorelgogu8631 no. People don't want to fix these old things. The problem with leaking caps on multi layer boards is the damage that happens to the inaccessible internal layers. When the corossion eats into these traces more problems start. Sure if it is a one off machine that is absolutely needed to play old media then know yourself out. I know a guy that spent 7500 restoring an old ampex vpr 7900 and time base corrector. This is for the obsolete 1" A format tape. He charges 1000.00 a hour to transfer video from this obsolete broadcast format. Needless to say there are a few people that are mist upset at what he charges. They are thinking a couple hundred max and then they get the quote. 1000 per hour and another 450 set up fee. So 1450 for the first hour tape and then 1000 per 1 hour tape.
I too am now having a problem with the V6000 Pro camcorder cassette deck the head is worn out and I need to find the same one otherwise I will have to buy the same camera for parts or buy an external recorder that will record directly to digital video without recorded on tapes
@@12voltvids digital video camera and camera i have , what i want is just a real analog video camera, not a dumb app on mobile that gives the effect of video tapes, do you know any hi8 video camera that has good image quality and does not have problems with bad capacitors and bad connections?
@@salvatorev_ three were many late model hi8 that don't have capacitor issues. I don't have model numbers handy. The best hi8 handycam ever made was the ccdvx3 3ccd camera however I don't kbow how the caps fare on that one. I have a friend that has one but i don't know if he wants to sell it. I can ask if you wish.
@@12voltvids I have the VX-1 European model , I have change cassette deck all caps through hole and smd and works perfect, I just don't know what type of cassette to use so that the head doesn't wear out again, a while ago I used a Sony hi8 metal super HME 120 cassette and it damaged my head
An iron works just as well in skilled hands. I may just use regular caps as I can get those quickly. Perhaps as quick as tomorrow if I feel like going to the big city and picking them up.
@@12voltvids I was wondering if it could be retrofitted with regular caps, and if that would involve drilling a pin-hole for the leads (seems kinda risky). It'll be fun to see how it shakes out.
A wise man once said the reliability of electronic device is inversely proportional to the number of capacitors it contains. Now that is very true and especially true for electrolytics
@@12voltvids Bloody horrendous arent they, especially if theyre from the same batch inside a piece of equipment, you can pretty much guarantee theyre all gonna be as dry as madonnas hairy letterbox
Control Panel functionality restored Awesome!
Yup. Tbc next.
I hope the parts come in quickly. This is a good one.
As quick as I can pick them up at the parts store.
hi mate, I have an EVS1000E unit powers on all fine and ejects tapes. Issue is NO output via Composite/rca.. what could be causing this ?

Just get a cheap HD camera and be done with the analog crap cameras.

@@salvatorev_ heads are rated 1000 hours. That's 500 2 hour tapes. If you use it the head will wear. That's the way it works.
i have two of them had to replace all the caps in the tbc section, they leaked and power supply caps leaked too
I did the caps on one of these a few years ago. I believe i crammed in conventional. Probably do the same here too.
damn I recognize those lines on the left side of the screen, that's what my vcr is doing hah !
I hope it gets repaired to working condition again.
I have rebuilt the TBC on one of these already about 2 years ago and yet nobody watched that video.
This means there's plenty of time to order your new Hot Air Workstation and liquid flux for all the surface stuff.
