I’m surprised you didn’t check the caps in the power supply. Those caps were likely cooking for decades as the unit sat there plugged into AC and the clock and standby circuits were essentially on.
These ones don't have a capacitor issue and I doubt it's been plugged in for decades. It's owned by a guy that has dozens of machines he is using for archiving. It might see power once every few months if that.
I just read an article and watched a video of Tesla driver driving 40km/h on highway and when a van tried to overtake them, the tesla hit full throttle forcing the van to return behind the tesla, at which point testa drive hit full brakes and a collisin was centimeters away. These things happen here in finland also unfortunately. Police apparantly looking for the tesla driver
You want another Canon to work on ?? I have that model. Worked great till it would not power up anymore .. The CZcams Channel, Ocean liner designs, has a great series of the Titanic. A boatload of CAD Animated videos of the interior of the Ship, Etc. Thanks Dave...
Dave, I have a few of these, all working fantastic thanks to your videos. But on one, the front bulb for the display backlight is slow to light up when first powered up. Any suggestions how I can fix that?
Thank you for this video. I used it to replace the blue gear in my SLV-676UC. That part is working now but now my left load arm will not retract. I am not having any issue with the right arm but but the left. Whenever I eject the tape it’s stays in the up position. Any advice? It’s not the blue roller that I changed the blue gear on buts is a sliver one that puts pressure against the tape.
@@12voltvids ok I see. The piece is busted where it makes the connection with the arm…. Dam it! Guess I gotta try and rig something up or find this piece somewhere. Or just shelve this for parts. :(
Actually…. Forget it as I have seemed to damage this unit more in my attempt to bring it back to life. I’m just gonna shelve it for parts. Thanks for the help. Take care.
This unit has Faroudja video processing circuitry (mentioned on the back of the unit). I was curious what your thoughts are on this, was this on other decks back in the day?
The Faroudja label is also on most of the Sony Video8 and HI8 HandyCams as well. And I know they have TBCs. So it could be a TBC and/or Digital Noise Reduction feature that Sony licensed? Is this the only Sony _VHS_ type machine with the Faroudja label? I haven’t seen others with it.
Faroudja designed video and timing circuitry that set the standard for video quality. Depending on the design they use both analog and digital circuits. Its not a tbc in the traditional aspect but it delivers tbc quality video. As far as I remember it compares the video over 3 lines just like a tbc but does ir internal. Tbc is normally an additional circuit that corrects the timing after the signal has been processed. This does the equivalent as the chroma and video signals are being processed. At least that is what I remember from a hi8 course I took on hi8 cameras that used it. It was reserved for the high end models.
Can I ask you for something *if it's possible?* maybe you try a background noise suppressor before publishing videos? I have to use earphones and the noise is really annoying. Thank you
Now if yhat isn't a stupid question I don't know what is. The gear broke 9 times out of 10 when the machines were young because so many people believed video magazine advertising for allsop wet cleaner tapes. It was an expensive lesson. Now the fail just due to fatigue from the constant tension of the spring.
Timing is everything.

No one knew one would be restoring VCR Machine
These were so expensive and impossible to get parts back then. Sony didn't like to sell parts then it must be Really hard now.
Parts are no problem. Chabges dozens of blue gears. Available locally.

I believe its a florescent tube that lights it.
Exellent job!!!
Try to degauss the bits and then magnetize them again.

Check your alignment again. The backtension arm is pulled in from a lever that the main cam gear controls.

I probably have that piece. I have a few parts wreckers.
@@12voltvids you would be a life saver. Happy to pay of course. Please let me know. Thanks.

I’m betting it is a TBC type feature. These units have great picture quality.

What would you recommend for a VCR, make and model? Great videos, I have learned lots from watching.
The one i am working on here. These were very good vcrs. Picture quality wise its hard to beat.
YES IT IS VERY GRATE VCR
Hi , thanks !
Can I ask you for something *if it's possible?* maybe you try a background noise suppressor before publishing videos? I have to use earphones and the noise is really annoying. Thank you
It aint got no gas in it moment. Iykyk
Dave can you adjust manualy your recording level on camera?
Yes it has full manual control but I leave it on auto because I can't be bothered.
VCR When it was in service, was there gear issues? Regularly maintenance
Yes lots. Used to order about 20 a month. Most broke when wet type cleaning tapes were loaded.
did Sony make blue gear on purpose brockable?
