No, it wasn't it was set to the Line Input mode (which apparently triggers the "camera" light on the VFD Display readout, which is the same thing that happens when its actually set to "camera" mode.)
Anyways, I take it that the "Servo Board" also has some influence on the functionality of the VCR's loading/playback mechanism? If so could it be possible that there might be some bad caps on that board as well causing some issues? |

Also I was looking at the Servo/Control Board for this VCR in the Sam's and it seems that it does indeed control the take-up and supply reel motors as well besides the capstan and drum motors. So again I think I might take a look at that board for some bad capacitors with my ESR meter. Last edited by vortalexfan; 06-01-2022 at 07:40 AM. |

Well I took the Servo Circuit Board out and looked it over closely and when I was checking some of the electrolytics on the board, I noticed what looked like a dip or low spot in the board around one of the plastic stand-offs and so I looked at it closely and sure enough the board has several cracks in it that go through to the traces and so I think that the reason why this VCR isn't working is because of the cracks in the Servo Board.
Unfortunately I think this VCR is a lost cause unless someone has a donor board from a junker VCR that they'd be willing to send me or know of one somewhere for sale... |

And as a little update, unfortunately I found several broken traces on the main control board of the VCR (the board that contains the Servo Circuit, Index Circuit, and the System Control Circuits) that were from some cracks that I found on the circuit board that were around a couple of the plastic standoffs that were for supporting the board against the case when you installed the board into the case. I'm going to see if there's any way to repair those traces, if not I'll see if there's a board for this VCR available on feebay for sale. |

I'll post a picture of the broken traces when I get back from work later tonight. |
