OK So a little update on this VCR, I think I found the culprit that's causing the no video and audio issue for the VCR when the play button is pushed, I found a 470 MFD 10 Volt electrolytic capacitor in the bottom circuit board near the back of the circuit board that was bulging like crazy, whereas the rest of the electrolytic capacitors in the unit were just fine, its a Nichicon capacitor and I have a picture of the capacitor below. The only problem was that the circuit its in doesn't seem to be labeled as a mute circuit from what I can see but I'm guessing that's the circuit you were talking about where this capacitor is in.

EDIT: Figured out that the "bulge" on that cap was actually just an epoxy coating of some sort. Took everything apart again that I had unhooked before, and rehooked it up again and now I have video and audio now, but now I have a new problem yet again, it seems that the VCR is playing the tape too fast and I have no idea why it would be doing that. So any assistance with this issue would be helpful. This VCR is 95% running, just that last 5% is what's keeping it from being 100% (which is the issue that I'm having right now of it running too fast.)
