I worked on a LOT of VHS VCRs and camcorders in the late 80's and throughout the 90s. My data tells me our shop worked on 54 of the subject (RCA CC300) during that time and oodles more of their ilk (including models CLR200, CMR200's and 300's, CPR250, 300's, etc.).
Of course, a few decades of water has gone under the bridge since and while it certainly could be a problem now, dirty mode switches in these units were just not a big issue back in the day.
Belts, on the other hand, were a different story. Hitachi (the subject's manufacturer) has certainly had their share of THOSE problems.
