I was planning on replacing it with the proper size fuse I just had the 4A fuse in there for testing purposes just to see if it would power on once the fuse was replaced.
Anyways I still need to figure out why the unit isn't activating the rewind and fast-forward functions and why the play function isn't activating properly, and I'm not sure where to check first (normally a mode-switch would be responsible for that but this unit doesn't seem to have a mode-switch in it, at least not one like your later VCRs had in them, it seems to have several solenoids to activate the functions with rather than a mode-switch and the solenoids aren't bad because they are activating its just that the mechanism isn't responding in kind to the solenoid's signals.
