I have the same VCR and I have the same problem. As soon as I have some spare time, I'm going to change the caps in the p/s. If you find anything in the meantime please let me know.

(My own unit). Periodically this unit will go crazy. You insert a tape...Push Play..will play a couple of seconds, then display says.."Bye" and shuts off. When you re-apply power tape ejects. Seems to be OK on FF and Rew. I have disassembled the mode switch, cleaned and lubed it. Worked OK for a couple of sessions, then goes back to the same problem. This unit has the Commercial Skip on it. Today I brought the unit into the shop, and has been running for 3 hours, no problem. Any ideas? -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics.
