I have the Sencore "How VCR Servos Work" Tech Tip #176, problem is, for detailed information it refers to Tech Tip 132. Sencore does not provide this manual any more. If you have this, please let me beg, barrow or steal it. I have to brush up on details. I have 3 Ultrak KR7496U (Mitsubishi HS7424U) Time Lapse Video Cassette Recorders here having the same servo problem. They just fail to lock on, and the picture just drifts from good to snowy. Never ran into this problem before where the small cap on the capstan motor did not cure it. Thank you in advance. Ty Tiberius Kraemer Blue Star Electronics 3312 Silverton Rd.
