Right around then is when they changed over to the B Chassis mechanism. If
it is the previous mechanism, the take up reel hub would crack and lose its
torque. Very common and you can see the cracks without taking it apart. On
the B Mech we have had a few mode switches that were electrically bad but
most were just falling apart and the piece with the wipers that you can see
was floating loose or you could move it side to side just by touching it. If
it was mechanically OK but we suspected an electrical problem we would give
the switch a shot of contact cleaner and look for a change in behavior.
By the way, the standard RM-95 will not work as a Service RM-95. A different
micro and some other mods are required to make the conversion. Sony offered
the micro and also the converted remote. Then about 1998, they made a change
that required still a different micro. The old Service RM-95 can read data
on the newer models but cannot change it.
