Default VCR damaged by AC overvoltage surge

Tnx all. The surge was a overvoltage surge (I had several wall
transformers burn-out on other equipment). Tnx for the warnings -- I do
have a bench isolation transformer. I may just try replacing the 82 ufd
capacitor and see if that fixes it. If not it can be added to the pile
of defective VCRs (I've never had one that lasted even with limited use!
) and I'll try to find a like-new replacement (I'd really like to advoid
the combination units). Jim H.


The power company should pay for replacements or your homeowner's insurance.
