Yet another broken VCR
If you know me, you know I can't resist a mid 80's Panasonic VCR if it's cheap. I bought a 1986 Panasonic PV-1360 today for $5. I expected it to work, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This VCR has the worst power supply I have ever seen on a mid 80's Panasonic. I got home, plugged it in, and it is dead as a doornail. I opened it up, saw a blown fuse, so I did what any insane person like myself would do, I jumped it. When I plugged it in after that, sparks and flames shot out of the power supply, and almost caught the carpet on fire. The source of the sparks was a transformer/coil right underneath the fuse holder. I don't know if that is the shorted part, or if some other part failed and caused a chain reaction.
