Well, I've had an older VCR unit for maybe 20 years, and now it seems only
capable of playing tapes in b/w. Am I missing something about settings? The
problem started recently. The last time I used it was six weeks ago. I can
plug another vcr into the same TV and out comes the expected color.

I just tried running a tape cleaner, and when if finished, I could see the
name SCOTCH in bright yellow letters. I then tried a tape with color, and it
didn't work, so I got a tape that was in color that was commercially
produced. Still b/w.
