Yes, all the diodes checked fine yet. The only diodes that checked bad was the bridge rectifier, which I already changed that out for a modern replacement the switching transistor I have not had a chance to check yet, the way they did the power supply in this VCR is that you have to disconnect a ribbon cable that's connected in a strange manner and then undo 2 solder blobs holding it to the main circuit board and then bend a retaining tab and then gently remove it from the main board without cracking the main board.
