I have this Mitsubishi VCR model HS-U51, which I require the gear alignment procedure for. After dissassembly to clean out all the old caked on black grease, all I get when plugging the unit in, is the supply reel rotating for 15 seconds then stopping and the power shuts off. When I try to turn the loading motor worm gear by hand, the mech. will only load so far then the motor jams up. I must have something out of position. I also cleaned the mode switch and replaced the little latch solenoid because of open coil. Thanks for any help. -- Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics 7134 Fife Rd, RR 7 Guelph Ontario Canada N1H 6J4 Fax: (519)821-1530 email: gary (at) number63.ca ***************************************************************************** The Tech Address Book: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?".
