The brand is not on One For All's vast device list-you'r SOL for
universal remotes. Unless, of course, it's actually manufactured by some
other brand. If so, One For All remotes have a 'learn' function for
devices that might just come up with a usable string. $10 to find out...

Passing a house when the resident was putting a broken vcr in the bin.
She gave it to me instead. 20 minute repair job but now stuffed without

a
dedicated remote control it would seem.
Goodmans VN9500S, a universal remote just controls the same transport
functions as on the front of the m/c. Stuck in on-screen menu mode to

alter
output modulation frequency which stays altered in memory via remote

even
after powering down but always starts again in this menu mode. I cannot
close the menu to enable Record even with Scart and active function
switching pin.
Any ideas as can only use as play-only machine , or fork out 17 GBP/35

USD
just to close down the menu function ?

The 8 front buttons are connected into a 2 data line by 8 data line diode
bridge matrix , only 4 x 2 lines are used so I'll try a diode between each
of the other 8 postions and see what happens each time.
