Toshiba? Don't think so. They made some RCAs but not Philips.

Now, a lot of Toshiba ICs were used in many brands.

What is the FCC ID letters-numbers on the back of the unit?

Another sign of failed electrolytics is plug it in, and it lights up, then goes dim or completely dies when it tries to do initial reset of the mechanism as some VCRs do.
