 A customer brought me this VCR. RCA model number VR354. FCC ID c5f7nf0006
It is the first of these I have seen. It tried to play a tape, but would at
a very slow speed, with pic still not good on pause. Rewind and fast
foreward were sporadic. I noticed that in play mode the pinch roller was
not making contact with the capstan shaft. I found the tension spring for
the pinch roller arm has one end which locates in a groove on the worm gear
cam and the portion near where it fits in the gear limits the travel of the
pinch roller arm, which has a notch to receive that portion of the spring.
The spring had popped out of the notch. I slipped it into the notch, and it
seems to work perfectly now. 
My question is  has anybody had any experience with these? Will this stay
fixed, or should there be some sort of retainer clip that has broken or
fallen off to keep this from happening?

Also I accidentally found while looking up the FCC-ID to see who was the
blame for this, that a schematic for this is available in the documentation
submitted for type acceptance in the form of a pdf file.

something worth fixing )
