Thanks, Parrot Chap!

Yes. All I have to do is...

Maybe a 5-amp automotive fuse, and watch for smoke.

Thanks again,

Magnavox VCR VR9035AT01 with power-supply Assy. No. VEPS0198

Could you have a look at:

http://members.shaw.ca/haruspex/Magnavox.htm

Any idea what that component labeled "PR1" is?

There's +5.2V on one side of it, open on the other.

This all started as my VCR started to die.

First, some tuner problems, then the lights on dim when things should
have been bright, then nothing at all, no signs of life. Enough
problems to have me look at the power supply first, but I can't fugure
out what this component is.

Any insight would be appreciated.

a quick Google reveals all

It is an ICP rated at 1.5A, now all you have to do is find what caused
it to blow!
