OK, it was easier than I thought. The main issue I had with extracting the boards was resolved by removing 3 screws to the big motor. It then lifts out and lets me unhook the mode assembly.
Unfortunately I don't know if my old problem was resolved because it now has a new problem: when I power it on, the mode control motor goes into reverse indefinitely until it hits the end of the gear track, then goes for a bit longer until the failsafe engages and the VCR powers itself off.
This did happen to me once before, but it was only because I had forgotten to plug back in the circuit board connected to the tape chassis. This time, however, it's doing it regardless.
I'm confident I have the V lined up on the mode switch, and I'm confident I have all the holes lined up for the gears on the mode assembly before attaching.
