I have a Grundig RP75 LCD video recorder in excellent working condition along with remote control. Although purchased 35 years ago this has hardly been used and looked after in a smoke free home. I am open to any offers made and collection will be required.

Hello all.

I’d like some help please.

I have just acquired a Sony SL-F25 and inexplicably the loading/timing belt is missing!

It’s the toothed rubber one part number 368426401

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement please?

Thanks

Paul

Paul. I have that belt but it's from an SL-T30ME which is a 711B chassis machine. The F25 uses the 711B2 chassis. That being said I don't know if they are interchangable I wouldn't mind sending it off to you.

Somebody knowns some about of the Toshiba V-8600B?

I found the service manual of the Toshiba V-8600 and V-8700 but nothing about the "B" version

Keith Wyattd do you has a multimeter for measure the 12 volts and if has enough current the power supply?

For measure the current use a lamp of 12 vols and 20 to 30 watts with the multimeter serially

(I don't know the maximum power of the power supply but in the specifications appears that the vcr consumes 8,4 watts without camera)

Buenas tardes he adquirido un vídeo Sony sl-hf 950, ya de primeras, al introducir la cinta directamente se iba hacia dentro, incluso llegándome a pillar los dedos, luego todo funcionaba bien, al parar el vídeo y darle para que expulsara la cinta el carro se paraba teniendo incluso que ayudarle tirando de él para sacarlo, lo mi!smo para introducirlo, después todo funcionaba bien, ahora el carro ni sale ni entra, no funciona en play ni el rebobinado, no enhebra la cinta, gracias a Palsite ,pude saber que el motor de carga tiene un sistema de conmutador de modo, lo desarme y pude ver que en el engrane negro hay unas láminas, en pares de dos, en total seis, que se desplazan sobre un circuito impreso, lo pude reparar quedando fuerte, después de pegarlas estaba ilusionado con que todo iría bien pero nada, he comprobado todos los voltajes y aparentemente todos están correctos, he comprado el manual de servicio y leyendo sin entender el inglés, parece que hay que hacer algún reset, os pido ayuda, gracias anticipadas.

Hi,i buy my first betamax video. I found it near my house very cheap only 10e in person. Its a sl-p20ch, when i turn it on the first time It don't make rewind or forward, It begin made a crazy sound clac clac clac. And play sometimes works and another It only play 2 seconds and stop.

So i read all the general guides in the site and i was prepare for the worst scenery.

I open the chasis i put a tape and.. i view the tape "jumping" in the right side, every clac was the tape junping in vertical.

So i think something its really broke in the mechanics,when i view something very fun..

A trident gum wrapper from 1988 was under tape loading bay. So when i put a tape inside the gum made the right be more Up. And the mechanics are not completely into the tape made It jumping.

After remove the gum,the video works perfectly. Very fun and strange fault.

Now i search info about this video, i don't found any info about It in the web. The only reference i found was a Article in a spanish newspaper in 1986 that It begin sale for around 70000 pts.(450e now). And It support Up to 3 hours 1/2 of play(tell the newspaper).

What beta format It support?.

Jose I searched and I saw 2 for sale in wallapop, this vcr is only a player, the front is very similar to the Sony SL-C20

I didn't find the service manual but the Sony SL-C30 inside is identical of the SL-C20 but with remote control

You can download from here: https://elektrotanya.com

Yeah, its only player but is valid to transfers tape to digital.

Of course in the end i search another with stereo and tape counter!. But for 10e was irresitible buy It.

Good afternoon, I asked a question about a Sony sl-hf950 video, I repaired the loading motor of the cart, since the sheets were detached. Do you know if when you put the motor back in, the cart or skid has some positioning? And if someone has it, could someone tell me the process. Thanks in advance.

Hi

I just purchased a Sony SL-T9ME. It requires a new drum head. I think the part # is DSR-19R A-6762-072-A however, this site says A-6762-075-A. I purchased one from a person in Jordan (I am in Canada) and sadly it didn't work. I can't find any other source for this head.

Any suggestions where I might source this part?

I am really hoping to get this machine up and running.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

My Sony SL C30 video works in black and white.

What motherboard model YC41 should I change.

The recommendations for the YC25 panel do not fit my device.

Thanks.
