Yep those were nice decks. I have a HS-U52 here I've kept in operable condition. Similar mechanism. Another problem was the plastic pulley pressed on the capstan motor. It would crack and slip, and then no go. They used to sell a brass pulley kit to fix that.
Capacitors like to fail in these too. Sometimes you can see discolored blackened foil traces on the top of the board from the leaky cap underneath.
That's the problem with 25 year old VCRs.
