Hello again.
Thought I would share another VCR that I salvaged from the crusher awhile back. My initial plan for this Toshiba VCR when i first acquired it, was to simply take the supply reel back tension band and use it for another project I am working on and then just junk this VCR. Since the belt wouldn't work with my other VCR, I was stuck with what to do with this Toshiba, since I never intended to fix/ use it. I did notice that it had been serviced at one point *part of the reason I took it* but when I tried to play a tape the roller guides would not engage the roller guide track to the head
turns out the loading motor belt was worn out, no biggie just replaced with a elastic band and TADA! back from the dead
Seriously I have to really admire you guys who worked on these all day, I think I would have been tearing my hair out like Homer Simpson from frustration
Anyway it's all good now. So i present to you my 1987 Toshiba Model V-1200C.
