Bob;
Since mechanically...besides speed, there is not much difference between
a regular VCR and Time lapse, and since it stops and automatically
rewinds, look into to intermittent tape end sensors. Must be sending
that signal to the micro..since mechanical problems would only stop the
unit, and not also make it go into rewind.
Just a guess.

I don't normally service these but a customer brought in a Sony time
lapse
VCR, model # SVT168 that they claim would normally record for about a
week
in time lapse mode, but now it only records for about an hour, then
stops
and rewinds. They have tried it with several tapes to rule out a
defective
tape. I have no experience on these and no service manual or other
documentation so if anyone has anything to offer it would be
appreciated. I
am just now setting it up to begin recording so this is all I know at
this
point.
