Hi, I have recently found 2 Phillips VCR 60 tapes52 years old. There is an outside chance my wedding may be on one of them. I did send 10 to Martin Potter 20 years ago ago, but as anyone who has dealt with with him will know he is a conman and sold them on. Hers hoping for some luck, would anyone be able to check take care Steve

Hi, Many years ago I was well into fixing the many V2000 machines. Now at age 79 I want to clear them all out. I have lots of original service manuals for Phillips and Grundig models. I have many extension pcbs allowing the boards to be above the rest of them for testing. Some of the machines were fully working but that must be 20 years ago and have not been used since. I have some spare heads. At least 2 for 2022/2023 still new sealed in the box. (just over 100 at the time). I am hoping that someone who is into restoring these V2000 video recorders could give them a good home. I loved the format and would like all that I have to go towards keeping it going. If anyone is interested (I don't want much for them) let me know and I will do a full listing. More than 20 machines so they would need to be collected using a big van. I am in Stockton on Tees. The Grundig 2080 machines that I had I gave to a friend who was still using the format but I think that he may longer be so maybe those would be available. Best regards Bill

Hello, my video 2000 Phillips 2334 works fine, but after a few minutes after the start of playback, rain appears on the screen, like suddenly there was no ground connection, I can't find the problem...maybe some connection to the image amplifier? All the connectors are re-soldered, and the damn rain of noise appears after half an hour. I have changed many capacitors, I need help.

Thanks and greetings.

Hello, I have managed to fix my 2000 2334 phillips video, and I have an image, what I need is to eliminate the electrical noise that I have on the screen, it is a slight noise in the image like very fine and insignificant rain that dirtyes the image (like black lines almost negligible and short) and that prevents the image from being of quality, I need to know which section could be responsible... or condenser...

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Before I bin this VCR I want to post it on this site.

The VCR is a Philips VR2025/02. Originally a Grundig rebrand.

If someone is located in the northern part of the Netherlands the VCR can be picked up.

The brakes for the reels are disintegrated.

So, most likely for parts.

Hello co-pallers.

I've a V2000 machine but not that much tapes.

Two tapes have bad video lints, they're rotten and damaged.

Has anyone tried to take the lint out of it and replace it with one from a VHS tape?

Did that work ?

Richard Warner sounds like the mains filter capacitor you are talking about the machine will work with our that however you can get the values off it and put another in. However the switching off/on shutting down etc is common you will need to replace a lot of capacitors in the power supply section

Hello,

I have a Philips V2000 VR2340 in a good general condition.

I have some issue with the mecanism that became lazy with the years.

Sometimes it's strong enough to run tape sometimes not.

I'm looking for a person who can repair this kind of video recorder.

I live in Belgium (people in the Netherlands or in France are ok toi).

Thanks in advance for any help

Kind regards

Chrisbati
