I had this same exact VCR that I was using for my LCD Projector in my basement, it even had the same exact issue, and I had bought some new capacitors for it (I believe I had gotten some panasonic caps from mouser) and I was able to fix it for about a month or so and then it went back to doing the same issue as your VCR was doing yet again and so instead of just buying more capacitors for it I just ended up junking it because I didn't want to throw anymore money into it than it was worth (I bought it at goodwill for $10 and I had already sunk $10 into it when I got the first round of capacitors for it, and I didn't want to have to sink another $10 into it). And yes the capacitors you get at Digikey and Mouser and what not are dirt cheap, but the shipping kills your bargain priced capacitors because you may be only paying 25 cents for the capacitors themselves but then when you factor in the shipping you end up paying more like $10-$30 depending on the shipping method, so sometimes if you're working with a tight budget going with Digikey or Mouser isn't always the best way to go.
