Model DV-PF2U Not long after I bought it the tuning quit and I took it to the warranty servicer. They replaced: OVSA12074 AC Head QSZBA0RSY012 IC Now it's just over a year old and the VCR has stopped working. It is a Funai mechanism and the capstan motor doesn't run so when you put in a tape it loads then is left hanging out of the cassette on eject. Does anyone know of a common problem/cure? I have no desire to waste a lot of troubleshooting time on it as I consider it a piece of junk anyway. If I had known it was made by Funai, I wouldn't have bought it. I thought Hitachi was better than that. Then again, I remember about twenty years ago, finding a Hitachi TV that was made by GE.
