Cleaned & deoxidized mode switch - even tho it looked ok. Also found timing of elevator gear, etc was not right. Additionally, C14 in power supply which was checked before in and out of ckt with ESR and Z-meter - all specs right on - caused noisy video and would 'hiss' when going into Play. Replacement solved problem. C09 was replaced originally to restore power. Roger G.
