Not sure what's wrong with this VCR, its one of those throw-away models.
Tape tries to load, about halfway then VCR shuts down. With test (tape)
jig, it loads fine. It's as if the brakes are still on when loading. If
I help the guide posts along, video head spins up but then the
capstan/take-up assembly barely turns, like the brakes are on. I've
taken a good look and still can't see what's causing this problem.
Anyone had experience with this yet?
 
Thanks in advance.
