This unit came in dead. Did the usual. All output capacitors. Power supply just fine, reg volts just fine. TV works great. VCR does everything great except no rewind. It plays OK, fwd and reverse search is ok. hit rewind and it will shut down within thirty seconds. I noticed that during its attempt to rewind the spindles are not turning. What could be the difference between search and rewind except for the fact that the tape is loaded in the search position. Any ideas? TIA.
