One of these, SLV-R1000. One you have to take the mechanism out from the top to get to that gear.

I think my high school I graduated from had one of those VCRs because I had gotten a box full of spare remotes that the school was getting rid of and one of the remotes that I got in that box was a remote just like the one pictured with the VCR you just posted the picture of.

My friend now has 2 parts decks and a runner if I find another in good shape I might keep that one (since I can bum parts off of him).

If it is your money then don't give your parents control of it or any info on how you spend it, and save wherever you can to maximize your discretionary income... If you are working for it and they want a piece or say over your money, then you can always threaten to stop working...They will rather have you be productive and they not get anything, than you not be productive and there not be anything for them to get... When my folks try to make me use my money in any specific way I dislike I tell them I'm an adult/American and they have no rights to make me do anything, nor is it any of their business or legal right to know what I do with my money....Though they rarely try anything they know won't fly.

As far as whether or not $75 is a good price for a parts VCR that's not my say, because like I said my mom will throw a fit if she sees that I've bought something like a parts VCR for even $30, and seeing as I wasn't able to find one single parts VCR for my VCR on ebay for under $50 including shipping costs, its not likely that I'll be able to get this VCR fixed anytime soon, even though when it was working properly it played excellently, and had beutiful picture and sound.

I'd have probably stayed pissed and not given an inch when the hissy fit started. With control freaks and people who use emotional outbursts to get their way you need to meet their level of emotional response and exceed their level of resolve not to change your position....It takes a lot of energy to pitch fits and bully people and you can often wear such people out by being or appearing to be an immovable object on your positions. You can always give her major crap each time she gives you crap about your stuff. Another option is to get a different bank account elsewhere (or surreptitiously end her access to that account if she is not a co-signer of that account), NOT GIVE her the info to monitor your activity under any circumstances and change it so your paychecks go there...Heck threatening to do that may even be a bargaining chip to leverage fairness...The only money the state mandates she have a say over is disability (right?), so if she's bullying you so that you don't have control of money that is solely yours (what you work for), pull the rug out from under her and make it so she no longer has control of it...If she pitches a fit stand your ground, and if she threatens to do something substantially bad MAKE her agree to fair concessions to your rights to decide how it is spent in exchange for being cut back into the loop to the extent you think is fair and tell her that if she goes back on the agreement or oversteps her boundaries you'll do it again. In life if you do not properly establish your boundaries, and adequately defend them you will be walked all over and owned...Overbearing parents tend to never really recognize their children as adults until their kids throw their weight around within their legal rights or they stop caring about their kids... I'd look over the law on that disability stuff and see if there is a way to cut her out of the loop on that too, or a good way to get off disability entirely so she no longer has a monetary leash to jerk you around with.

But anyways there was a listing for another VCR like mine on ebay that said that the guy was willing to take parts out of the unit for whatever you needed in order to save on shipping costs, which seems like that would be a better alternative, but I'm not really sure what this gear is called that I need in order for the guy to know what I'm talking about so I would get the correct part.

Disconnected from a TV, a Sony with a broken load gear will appear to function properly. Playback, RW, FF all "appear" to be okay. You must look inside while a cassette is playing, best seen with a flashlight, to see if the left guide is functioning correctly. If broken, the tape will only half load, the right guide will still work correctly. Another giveaway of a broken gear when disconnected to a TV is the front time display not working. It'll either stay at 00:00 or working intermittently. When connected to a TV, a broken gear Sony will display a picture that totally fails to track properly, just a big scrambled mess, but you will likely still hear perfect audio.

OK so I guess I'll just stick with Hitachis, Zeniths and Panasonics for now on, as they seem to be the most reliable.

An Audiokarma member posted in an old thread where I had advised about the gear, that he was able to buy one from "KP Components" in Canada. That's all I know so don't ask me any questions about the gear price or KP Components.
I didn't know they were still available. Last time 10+ years ago when I tried to order a few for stock Sony had discontinued that gear. And toward the end they were expensive about $10, for a little plastic gear and that was dealer cost. |
