Hello all, the set came in dead and working without a print I found fuse F5001 open and zener diode D5301 shorted, I replaced with a 15v 1watt zener, would anyone know if that is the correct value? Transistor Q5101 is good and all other diodes and resistors check good, this did restore power however the VCR section will not except a cassette. When the set is powered on the heads begin rotation and stop (normal) but when a cassette is inserted nothing happens, the cassette load motor does not engage. I tested the motor out of circuit and is good. The IR lamp is good. Has anyone seen this set or similar? Im wondering could this problem be an electrolytic cap? Or an IC protector? Or perhaps the end and start sensors? Any help is appreciated.
