Unless it was an RCA made by Samsung with the failing power supply problems, they had a kit of parts to rebuild them, or the Goldstar-made Zeniths with mechanical issues. Zenith started with Sony and Beta format, then went to VHS and Panasonic for their machines, then Hitachi built some RCAs, then Samsung, and Toshiba..

Zenith VHS VCR's were first JVC, then Goldstar. The unit shown is a Panasonic built switching PS.

Yep I jumped ahead of the Zenith JVCs. Worked on many of those too being an authorized service center for Zenith and JVC and about 30 other brands at the peak years...
