Service manuals for it seem to be non-existent, except for one source who wanted about as much as I paid for the unit ($80).

Would anyone have knowledge on this type of problem? Obviously the IR path is clear, in that the power functions work, so I am guessing that the problem is downstream.
Lemme dig into my stash - I have a bunch of Sony Beta and U-Matic manuals, but it's late here, and my shop is in a detached garage, and a tropical storm is a 'comin, and well, you get the picture. If I have it, it's yours for postage.

Meanwhile, here's the only repair tips I have in my database...
