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.

Looking for portable video 2000 Brand PYE 2100/2200. Originally sold by Dixons.

Just to let everyone know, V2000 PALsite has just been fully updated to work better on mobile devices

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 ?

I have a vp1000 in mint condition with the original case with it. What do they sell for?

Hi, does anyone have Martin Potters contact details, thanks, Steve

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

Hello all,I have a Canon microfiche reader printer machine,and would like to borrow the Grundig microfiche that has the Grundig video stuff on it,it has the machines before the V2000 machines,and the V2000 machines,the FAC cameras,and the short lived small CVC format machines called the VP 100,maybe I can borrow,or buy,or maybe some kind person can connect me with a past or present Grundig dealer,I have been using the V2000 and VP 100 and FAC camera stuff since 1982,and I also have a few of the V2000 portable tuner/Timers from Philips and Pye brand,Thanks,RSVP,Regards,Ray

Also if anyone has any V2000 tapes with old recordings on that they are willing to post to me for a reasonable price I will pay. Of course I pay for postage too, but must accept PayPal payment. Thanks 😊 07510100022

Hi I’m interested in paying for anyone who has a used or new but either way in fair condition wet cleaning tape for a V2000 please? I have a working unit here that I bought off a good seller in Netherlands however I don’t want to take it apart for head cleans each time also it has been sealed and is there is some guarantee I would rather not break the screw seals opening it up. I have looked for one for some time but find nothing. I was thinking of dismantling a couple of old V2000 cassettes and winding on a VHS wet cleaning tape to the spools then simply drilling a hole for the application of cleaning fluid. Is anyone willing to sell me such a tape cleaner for a reasonable price? Or willing to make me one in the above manner or similar? If not I will attempt making one myself, so if anyone has any tips or anything that is a wet V2000 tape cleaner get in touch. 07510100022

Please can you help... I have a Philips VR 2340 which is the same as the VR 2334 'video 2000' system video recorder which

I use in the UK.

Over Christmas had problems ... While playing or recording the machine would

switch off and back on clicking after about 10 seconds to continue playing or recording.

The main cause is the following...

I've checked the main access point where the electric cable is plugged into on the machine... It looks like this part is damaged and been on its way out for some time and expanded becoming

damaged. *

*Can you suggest a replacement which I can solder on to replace the damaged

one. **

Does any one have parts stripped out of an old VCR, The circuit board that I require is about the size of a 'thick finger' the main electric lead plugs into then two brown wires solder onto main transformer.... This circuit board capacitor is what I require.

I do have pictures of the item required

I have a Phillips V2000 video recorder bought in 1982 which needed repairs in 1986 and has been stored in its original packaging ever since. Deciding to have a clear out over the weekend I almost took it down to my local recycling centre but had second thoughts. If anyone would like it free of charge they are welcome to come and collect. You never know one of you boffins might be able to get it working again or use it as a donor unit. I live in the South Croydon area, Coulsdon
