The part you need to fix this older VCR is NLA. When it was available in
the late 80's the DC/DC converter module was about $20 back then.
Look around at garage sales or thrift stores..... you might be able to buy
a similar VCR (RCA, Hitachi or Sears branded) that you can scavenge the part
from. There is no "work around" with generic components so you really
need the correct part to perform the repair.

Is it more than a DC source? If not, you could always just build a little
power supply to sub for the DC-DC converter.
