Adam, That unit uses an independent motor for almost everything. It has one for cassette loading, tape loading, capstan, video drum and reel drive. But I would first check the idler assembly. Usually the pad wears in the idler, over time, causing slippage during play but overcomes that symptom in FF due to the added torque that the additional momentum and speed provide. There is a tune-up kit available for that unit from Studio Sound Electronics, VMK-065 for $10.95 plus shipping. It includes, new idler, belts and a pinch roller. http://www.iglou.com/studiosound/ Hope this helps Bill Premium Technologies 27501 V Street Ocean Park, Washington 98640 Phone: (360) 665-5984 Fax: (775) 860-7747 email: premtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dougherty" <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 5:50 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: zenith vrd200 > > Adam, > The only failure I see is Capstan/Reel Drive Ic Ba6222 > Let us know how you make out. > > Jeff > > FAX 717-564-4952 > Jeff Dougherty > Intrepid Video & Electronics > 501 Luther Rd > Harrisburg, PA 17111 > 717-909-8844 > VCR tips, electronics info & general interest. > www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net www.thetoolcaddy.com > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "adam miller" <adamt123@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 5:24 PM > Subject: [TechAssist] zenith vrd200 > > > > > > hello all, > > > > i have a zenith vcr vrd200, the problem is that the take up reel stops > > turning when you put it into play mode, ff and rwd both work fine, i check > > photosensor, it is puting out a nice signal in ff and rw mode, i looked at > > the voltage on the take up motor and it looks low to me for playback, i > have > > no manual for this vcr, i tried to find a data sheet for the motor driver > ic > > m54647, but to no avail, is there a common failure for this problem? > > troy > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: > > http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > > > > ------------------------------------------ > > Make your TechAssist database better! > > Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/ > > ------------------------------------------ > > To UNSUBSCRIBE your email address, click here: > > mailto:techassist-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > > Or send a BLANK email with unsubscribe in the > > SUBJECT field to the address above. > > > > ------------------------------------------ > Make your TechAssist database better! > Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/ > ------------------------------------------ > To UNSUBSCRIBE your email address, click here: > mailto:techassist-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > Or send a BLANK email with unsubscribe in the > SUBJECT field to the address above. ------------------------------------------ Make your TechAssist database better!
