Hi Ron, Thanks for the reply.
IF your VCR ate the VCR head cleaner tape , chances are that jts1957's answer WILL solve the problem.... .... See , IF it ate the cleaning tape (Usually a thicker tape than the ones you record on) then you have a more serious problem... One or both heads are nicked off on one end or both ends acting like a mini saw... Chewing up anything they touch.... You most likely will need new heads as cleaning will NOT fix that problem... Actually after it had its “dinner” it has been okay. I still really want to try to “examine” the inside. I think there’s hope…. Also, I have a “Lite-On” VCR / DVD combo - unit which records and plays (or should but it never worked at all ($ shop - You get what you pay for… )) I am sure I hooked it up wrongly or something. The power works…. Finally I own a (circa) 1981(?) VCR (Panasonic – VHS). I can find the model number (also for the Lite-On) if there is a reason. The Panasonic went from recording (and playing) color -> recording (and playing) only black and white -> only snow. (This was all very gradual) My only requirement is that ONE of them works. Aside from the sound, the LG is recording without eating and the video has improved.
Go to eBay or Craigslist & look for a new unit... Never tried Craig’s list but the shipping to where I live (from the USA) is usually far more than the item. So, Could you please tell me where I can find (free) diagrams / service manuals for VCRs? Just generalized pictures. Thanks! P.S. I really came up with nothing using Google....
