This tv-vcr combo came in with a tape stuck inside and I found that the 6 volt regulator was about 1.3vdc which caused the tv to turn on at plug in with a low buzz from the speaker and high voltage but no video only gray with retrace if I turn up the G2 on the IHVT. I replaced the 6 volt regulator and now the tv turns on and plays normally but when I put a tape in it takes off and plays way to fast.Looks like it's in fast forward but it's in the play mode, (chipmunks). One other strange thing is the remote will not work it at all but the remote control itself works another tv just fine.
