Hi members, The DVD player works OK on this unit. The problem is in the VCR deck. It will load, and unload the cassette, but the capstun motor does not turn on. As a result, there is no takeup on the tape when it ejects the cassette, and therefore eats the tape. I tried to dis-assemble the unit to check the mode switch for corrosion. I found it to be a much bigger job then I expected. A large spring about 1/2 inch in diameter,and 1/2 inch long, fell out from under the deck. I might need a service manual before proceeding with further repairs, but if someone could at least give me the part number for the mode switch, and tell me where the spring should be installed, I might be able to get by. I was going to back out of this job, but, after re-assembling the unit, the drum motor spins at power turn on, and the cassette-in light blinks. I think the spring is causing my new symptoms, or, maybe I just screwed up the mech alignment. I need to at least restore the unit to the same condition as it was, before I made it worse. Cause the DVD player won't activate, until I fix the VCR. Another set from hell,...again.
