I know that on some Panasonics, after alignment of the deck gears, you install the cassette loader in the "Down" position. Does the loading motor repostion itself when you leave the the loader out and plug it in ? Can you play a tape with the c loader out ?

I have done many of these Panasonic VCRs before, but, this one seems to be a little bit different. There are no broken gears, and the rest of the Mech. align. is correct. I am trying to install the basket assy. back in the unit, but when I set the link gear from a manual that is "close", the unit turns on when I plug it in, and then turns back off in 2 seconds. Then it won't turn on by the power switch. If I leave the basket out, the unit will turn on at plug in, and at least stays on. I can't help thinking that my only problem is getting the Link gear aligned correctly. This link gear only has "ONE" indentation to go by, and maybe one slash mark, which is different then any of the other manuals I have in my VCR library. Does anyone have this align info available to send me a fax ? It's an older unit, so I doubt it's avail. on a pdf. If you send a fax, let me know in advance, so I can turn my Fax on first.
