Looks like I'll have to get a new one (I unfortunately do not have the expertise to replace caps or circuits). I use VCRs as part of one of my secondary hobbies of capturing and posting old home video logos and commercials.
There are plenty of used PV-4101s on eBay from time to time. It's very easy to swap/exchange power supply with just one screw nut.
