Cool I got a Luxor VCR with this mechnism luckly I never had to replace the loading belt or anything like cause that seems like a pain to do, it only need a new capstan belt and fuse. Also for the issue with LP at 14:11 I think this VCR is just a SP only unit that can't do LP
Yeah maybe it wasn't clear enough in the video but it's SP only for video, but it can play and record hi-fi audio (with no video) in LP mode. I also Have Luxor and Nokia that are 2-3 years newer (both 2 head mono) with the newer variant of this mechanism but those have a bunch of issues (including capstan belt) but haven't gotten one of them to work well enough yet. (Also have a newer Luxor VCR4786 that works fine but that one and the corresponding Nokia variant is made by Sharp rather than Sanyo.)
@@analogvideochannel4612 Cool, also could you make a video on the Luxor VCR4786? I am a really big fan of Luxor products and there is very little info of luxor online since their products was only sold in small numbers outside Scandinavia
@@analogvideochannel4612 Thanks really excited to see the Luxor reviewd Luxor is my favorite brand, Luxor is one of those things that makes me a proud suede
