Bush VCR
Hello
I have a Bush VCR920NVP and it's causing some problems. Sometimes when I press REW, FORWARD, PLAY or REJECT the machine refuses to do anything. On another forum I have been told it is the idler tyre that is at fault. I opened the machine up and found the idler mechanism ( a collection of white toothed wheels between the two black VCR cassette holder pegs) which I cannot get into. On the reverse side of this mechanism a black type of thick elastic band connects the idler. I have been searching for idler tire/belts but a shop has just told me that this is not the idler tire/belt. What is the correct name for this tire/belt please? I do not want to open the machine up again as it is playing OK at the moment and if does play up I turn the machine off at the plug which resets the memory and I can then use it again. I would obviously like to solve this problem if possible. Thanks aw56001 http://www.HardwarePlug.com - Gadgets, Computer Hardware and Electronics Forums |

I would look at the mode switch in your case. Has a cassette been forcibly removed? maybe some gears are out of position. you could also try changing the main drive belt, thats the black one you saw. take out the original and take it to an electronics spares shop. shoudlnt coast more than about a quid. -B. |
