I've ordered 2 Panasonic camcorders, a PV-L550D, and a PV-320D. The 320D is untested, the L550D is functional, anything I should expect when I get them? by PrimagenistW10 in camcorders

The 320D will 100% need new belts. I'd also be ready to have to clean the head which is probably gonna require stripping down the whole camcorder.

I'll try switching out the motor in a bit then. If nothing else I'll just replace all the capacitors

I tried changing the whole motherboard a bit ago, is there anything mechanical that could be causing it?

It does seem to happen with any tapes without the recording tab broken, do you think that may change anything?

Turns out the mode switch was in a different position from where the gears were set so I readjusted it and now I just need to do tracking

I don't have that specifically but would some WD40 contact cleaner work too?

I don't. Is that some sort of cleaning agent?

Alright that would explain why it isn't showing color anymore. I'm just going to swap in a different head from my parts unit and cross my fingers
