I'd swap that fuse for a correct 3A version soon. If you replace with higher current fuses there is more probability of one failure taking out more than it should....Not to mention fire....

Anyways I still need to figure out why the unit isn't activating the rewind and fast-forward functions and why the play function isn't activating properly, and I'm not sure where to check first (normally a mode-switch would be responsible for that but this unit doesn't seem to have a mode-switch in it, at least not one like your later VCRs had in them, it seems to have several solenoids to activate the functions with rather than a mode-switch and the solenoids aren't bad because they are activating its just that the mechanism isn't responding in kind to the solenoid's signals.

 Where can a guy get a decent copy of the service manual for this VCR without having to pay for it? I would like to try and locate the service manual for this VCR so I can find the exact size of the belts I need for this thing because that website you told me about that had the belts there only shows sizes of the belts it doesn't go by make and model of the VCR.

Wow .Thats a classic.easy to work on.Big fat power transformer and maybe separate pc boards for each function like the classic Panasonic's have..
WARNING .Wear your steel toe work boots when moving this or any VCR from that era.Your toes would appreciate it.

I was able to get the left hand side reel to rotate again, I think now I just need to get those belts and I think the VCR should function again. There's a motor and belt drive assembly in the very back of the VCR that's linked to something in the VCR but I'm not sure what it goes to, any ideas as to what it would of went to?

Anyways so there's only 2 main belts that drive this entire VCR Mechanism, wow that's amazing, allthough that doesn't explain the third belt and motor drive mechanism I saw in the back of the VCR between the chroma board and the tape drive mechanism. What would of that been for? The belt on it is in perfect shape yet but it doesn't seem to have a purpose (it doesn't seem to work with the tape drive mechanism in any way when its rotated by hand). So how could they get a 2-head VCR to perform some of the same functions as a 4-Head VCR back then? Did they even have 4-Head VCRs back then when this VCR was made? EDIT: I looked up the cross-reference chart you were referring to and looked up the belts I needed and the only belt I could find in their parts catalog was the SCY6.0, but the SQX4.6 couldn't be found, was there maybe a typo in the cross-reference chart and maybe they meant SCY4.6? OK, I didn't realize you actually had to call this company to make an order, I think I would rather see if there's another place to get my parts from because I'm not too keen on using my credit card over the phone seeing as I don't know who I'm dealing with and for all I know they could steal my credit card info.

Search using Google - you'll find dealers that list the belt(s) and allow you to place an online order. Just ensure you have an https connection first... Credit card fraud (was) more likely with "card present" transactions than over the phone or internet - fraudsters with a card could 100% clone a card and CVV, and charge up thousands before you even left the store. Now, with the chip cards, it's still easy to clone the magnetic strip, but in a year or so, all card readers will be chip-only, and eliminate the magnetic strip. In 2011, my parents used one of their cards in West Texas, while traveling, and it was cloned in the restaurant and maxed out the same night. Visa fraud detection called them and verified their only use at the restaurant - that had some previous fraud/cloning detected there. A year later, Dateline NBC featured the restaurant in a sting pulled off by an FBI task force - 11 people arrested, restaurant seized, and several hundred cloned cards recovered - but only after $16.5 million was transferred to Ukraine. I remember chip credit cards and phone cards in Europe in the mid-90s, but then, European banks have been all over security, unlike the US, where laws favored the banks over the consumer...
