Shaun, does that have the mirrored take-up reel? I think it does. Might be that simple, just clean the mirror. The sensor logic on the older machines after shut-down like that had to be unplugged to reset... Either that or check your take-up reel sensor itself. Hope this helps..

I checked the mode switch and cleaned it no change, but if I remove the power for about 10 min it will work again for about 5 min and then do it again. All the power suply voltages are right and stay the same. This is and older vcr so dont want to spend to much time but the customer will pay for a basic fix. > > Shaun > > ------------------------------------------ > Make your TechAssist database better! > Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/ > ------------------------------------------ > To UNSUBSCRIBE your email address, click here: > mailto:techassist-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > Or send a BLANK email with unsubscribe in the > SUBJECT field to the address above. ------------------------------------------ Make your TechAssist database better!
