Shaun, Does the tension arm pull all the way out? If not, look for: PLASTIC UNDERNEATH CASSETTE FLAP OPEN OR BROKEN I can't picture exactly what this tip is referring to, but maybe you can looking at the unit.

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.
