Ivc ~ ivc-871p ~ 1" video recorder service manual

[TRADEMARK-X]

Greetings!
I am new to the forum (or any forums), so bear with me if I’m a bit lost….

I have acquired an IVC 871P (PAL) open reel colour video recorder from about 1972 (pictured) & although been sitting in a cupboard for the last 35years unused, I was very surprised to find that it still worked with decent picture! However it was very noisy as the bearings are all pretty dry of lubrication, so I set about removing all 4 motors & have re-lubricated the bearings along with any other pivoting points, guides etc. It’s a lot better now but the bearings in the scanner drum still need attending – I dernt attempt to remove & dismantle it without some kind of service information, which is my main issue. That is what brought me here really – does anyone on here know where I may get a paper copy or scan of a service manual for the IVC 871P video recorder, especially the scanner drum & electrical schematics / setup procedures? They are so old that I can’t find anything on the usual internet search etc. Also does anyone have a pinch roller for one of these machines – it’s about 30x19mm with ¼” shaft size, though that’s unimportant as can be modified to suit.

Cheers,
