OK, so I finally got the VCR Fixed!
But of course now it has a timing issue related to the mode switch I think, because when I put the tape in, it loads the tape in normally like it would if you tried to play a tape but then when you hit play the tape loads against the heads and attempts to play but then unloads the tape back into the tape housing, and if I try to hit rewind or fast forward the tape will rewind for about a second before stopping and then loading the tape against the heads like its going to try and play but then the VCR shuts down and when you try to power it on again it shuts back down again after a few seconds (and the tape is stuck in fully loaded/playback mode the entire time.)
Is there some sort of way to figure out which mode the mode switch is in in reference to the mechanism? Like is there some sort of specific marking that will tell you which position is which on the mode switch (ie stop, play, Rew, FF, Eject, Pause, etc.?)
