I have the same VCR that I had bought off a guy on facebook market place locally, and I had bought a parts unit because the front cover on the one I had bought on market place was missing the cover that went over the remote control sensor and the button for the TV/VCR Button. The issue that my VCR was having was not wanting to play the tape when it was loaded into the VCR, when I would load the tape into the VCR the auto-play would trigger and load the tape into the heads but then the tape wouldn't play, it would just back the tape out of the heads and then shut the machine down. I figured out it was because the belt for the loading mechanism (the loading mechanism for loading the tape into the heads) was bad to the point that it was slipping when it was trying to finish loading the tape mechanism and I had ordered some belts and unfortunately when I got the belts in and went to reinstall the belt I accidentally messed up the loading mechanism's timing because now I can't get the loading mechanism to load a tape properly, or even pass the start up test.
Is there anyway to fix the tape loading mechanism timing so that it will allow the machine to power on properly and load the tape correctly? I downloaded the service manual for this VCR and it wasn't very helpful with regards to adjusting the loading mechanism timing when replacing the belt for it.
Also is there a way to replace the small tape loading mechanism belt on the bottom without having to unsolder the ribbon cable that goes to the board that runs that loading mechanism? I unfortunately have had to unsolder that ribbon cable 5 times so far and each successive unsoldering and resoldering of that ribbon cable keeps messing up that ribbon cable more and more.
