That brings up a thought....
Remember they use to have Dew Sensors on VCR's to prevent this problem
of gulping the tapes when the Video Head used to "sweat".
Since the Chinese completely took over production of this product, they
felt it was a useless circuit to have on VCR's, extra ...redundant
components.
