Power would not stay on for more than a few seconds on this 1996 VHSC camcorder. Found cylinder appeared to be locked up. Rotor magnet VTW0008 was coming apart. Replaced rotor magnet but then cylinder would accelerate too slowly and power would shut off. Found some blisters on the cylinder driver transistor array IC2004, UN224-TX. Replacing the IC repaired the problem. Then had to adjust the head switching point, which we did mechanically as we did not have the electronic jig. Since this is the third time we have run across this same problem, it must be common.
