Hello all, I'm into many things from 4K Blu Ray to Laserdisc. I've recently got hold of a couple of VCRs and one is a little worse for wear.
It's a Panasonic NV-HD640 PAL VHS VCR, the head spins and usually the tape gets offered up the head. However the tape won't start moving. Other times the tape tries to offer up to the head and gets mangled, the machine then rejects the tape.
I've some minor repairs to LD players and some cassette decks, such as swapping belts and so on. Unfortunately VHS is a bit more of a mystery to me. My main memory of it is my Dad being able to clean the heads, but anything else really went in for repair.
If anyone could sign post me useful generic guidance that would be great or any advice about this unit.
