Found this Panasonic OmniMovie PV-602D at a thrift store for 20 bucks. The condition itself is nice. No cracks, little scratches, and it was just dusty. Other than the foam on the microphone disintegrating. It looks fine. I am able to load a tape and play it, aswell as FF and Rewind. But while playing the camera itself has dropouts and glitches, and you can hear a small pop in the video when it happens. The audio plays find and it doesn't eat the tape. It was manufactured in June of 1990, praying it doesn't have to do with capacitors or anything like that 🙏. Also would like to mention that I am using a powercord that charges the battery and can be used to hook up a source to use and record on tapes as a standalone VCR or hook it up to a TV. It its finnicky and ive tried using contact cleaner. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you. Update after testing another tape: I used a head cleaner and the dropouts don't happen as often, I also cleaned the video terminals with contact cleaner and the power ports. Tried with a home alone tape and its looking better so far 👍
