Bad behavior from a 13" RCA combo set

Ahh the fun part. Been there. Lots of home movies I never remembered. Christmas past and easter. Stuff like that.

Glad you got it working. Just saw this post. Even so, don't know where VCR parts come from today.

The RCA T13070 (and similar GE branded model) were manufactured in 1996 (or, it was a 1996 model year) by IVP, International Video Products, a joint venture between Toshiba and Thomson. This was actually pretty decent stuff, a far cry above any Funai or Orion mess.

The service data issue number is 13TVR60 (the GE branded model), in case you decide to search for it. I looked at 3 RCA's and two GE's in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Not enough history to report.

By the way, if you ever see the power light flash 6 times (and little else happen) that is the 'child lock'. Just hold the power button on the remote for 6 flashes to restore operation. That was one of the three calls.

Yeah, I noticed the Toshiba tube inside. Definitely better than a lot of TV/video player combo units, though not as good as a Panasonic or Sony machine.
