Peter,

Your first problem, not taking the tape, is a timing problem.  Remove the
loader, manually operate the mode motor until the timing marks line up,
and reinstall the carriage.

The second problem is a bad video IC.  Don't remember the location
number, but it's a 40-pin circuit on the left rear of the VCR chassis. 
Has a crystal on top.  Panasonic number is VCRS0167A.  Cost is about $40
from Tritronics.  It has s/m caps that leak and ruin the board, like the
Sony sound ckt SBX1637.  Have fixed a very few, but better to replace.
