Need Service Manual

Hi folks.
I am looking for a service manual for a Sanyo Betacord, Model VTC-5500P.
I have the Australian model, but will gladly accept any version that is out there.

I have repaired the mechanical issues, but look to have a power supply fault.

After I get that sorted, there is much conductive glue to be removed before I tackle any other faults.

P.AL. N.T.S.C. SEACAM. Anything will do for now. Full manual or just partial manual.

Thanking in advance.

Wayne.

Best I could find, the VTC5000. Hopefully it's somewhat similar.

I guess that I should have posted a picture of the set.

I got this set recently. I had never seen one before although I had serviced and repaired VCR's for years.

Its sloping front panel makes it stand out from the crowd. It appears to be made in 1981.

Close vcrs to this would be the European VTC 5600 and perhaps the American/Canadian VCR 5000/5050 as far as manuals go, hope this helps

Hi. I have the full schematics, parts list, and service manual for the VTC 5600P. But it's all on paper. I might scan them and put them on a pdf file if you want.

Hello Fivos.

That would be wonderful. That does sounds like a lot of work, but if you could send me some scans of the power supply, that might be enough for me to fix this machine.

Regards

Wayne.

Hey guys. I just sent the power supply schematics to Wayne so if anybody else needs them, let me know. Anyway, here we have a Sanyo VTC 9455 multi system machine. The mechanism appears to be the same as the 5500/5600 but the rest of the machine is completely different and unique. I've been looking for a manual for this for at least 3 years and haven't found anything. It needs a new capstan motor and a lot of electronic adjustments to be done in the servo and video/chroma circuits. If anybody knows anything about this machine, let me know. All I know is that it was intended for the Saudi Arabian market back in 1981.

Just an update. I spent Sunday afternoon working on the Sanyo. Someone had repaired the power supply sometime in the past. Interesting, there was a hole burnt through the board where the driver transistor for the 12 volt regulator sits.

Because it is so inaccessible, I went right over the power board. I still shudder whenever I find an electro with the name Sanyo on it. Anyway I checked as much as I could and replaced all the caps for which I had a replacement available.

The 12 volt regulator now works but now I can see there is much still to be done.

Does anyone remember repairing camcorders during the 90's ? Remember the smell of leaking surface-mounting electros ? Yes. The machine has that smell of fish.

I will have a look again on the weekend. I have plenty of time. I am working a four-day week because of the China Flu.

Thank you to Fivos for the scans.
