Old hitachi VCR eat tape
I have an old hitach 578EM multi system VCR, manfactured in 1990.
Recently, it eat tapes. The following is what i see: When i press play, the tape moves but only the left wheel of the tape, the right wheel does not move at all. The vcr works fine in fast reverse and forward. Anyone have experience with this old machine? |

Make sure there's no slipping rubber belts. Replace them if need be. O-rings
can be substituted for small belts. Also take rubbing alcohol and apply to all of the rubber surfaces (pinch rollers, idler wheels, etc) to get them gripping again. This may not work well if they're too worn or dried out. wrote in message oups.com... Anyone have experience with this old machine? |
