Well another update on the VCR, I did manage to find some capacitors for the VCR in my capacitor stash, and installed them, and put the VCR back together and it is partially fixed, the VCR is now powering on all by itself now when you plug it into the wall, and the take-up reel spindle is now spinning at a much faster speed than it used to when it is doing the self-diagnostic check.

But its still not spinning up the supply reel spindle and the video head drum isn't spinning up either in the self-diagnostic check, so I wonder if there's some more capacitors on another board that's involved with the loading/playback mechanism?

Also I noticed that when the VCR attempts to power up the display screen shows "camera" on the readout which I'm not sure if that's normal or not but I'm wondering if that's maybe something that might be something to do with what's going on with the VCR and why its acting up?
