vcr will not play,ffw,rev
Hi,
I have a front loader JVC VCR. I cleaned and lubricated and changed the idler of the vcr recently. After this service the vcr worked ok for some months. Then it started exhibiting the following problem: Whenever I press play,ffw,or reverse it whirrs for a bit and then stops. The counter does not move. This happens with all tapes I tried (new or old) I opened the top cover and inserted a tape cheater (casette box with just the frame). I noticed that in all 3 cases, the idler moves to the right position and the appropriate reel is turning for just a few seconds and then the idler retracts back to normal position. Anyone knows what may be happening and how can I repair? Note that I want to do this repair as a hobby, because I can buy a quite brand new VCR |

Maybe the idler isn't making it all the way over, maybe the idler or clutch
ass'y has a problem, or could be the reel belt is bad, or the mode switch needs cleaning. Mark Z. wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I have a front loader JVC VCR.
