Anyways, I take it that the "Servo Board" also has some influence on the functionality of the VCR's loading/playback mechanism? If so could it be possible that there might be some bad caps on that board as well causing some issues?  |
Generally the servo circuit is what controls the speed and phase of the capstan and drum motors. This machine being fully direct-drive will have an extra servo board for the reel motors. Loading issues are usually caused by dirty mode encoder switches, gummed-up mechanisms or missing/low power supply voltages. Since you have the Sam's, have you verified that the voltages from the power supply are correct?
