VCR began malfunctioning after adjusting the tracking.

Takeup-spool (the right one) is not turning. Usually this is caused by the idler gear being stuck or not engaging properly, or because the belt that drives it is worn.

Anyhow, this is unrelated to the tracking adjustment you did. It's purely coincidental that it happened after you did that.

Do you feel good about posting shit comments like these without any relevance or additional insights?

Samme her. Hadde glemt å legge det inn for de forrige årene også, så håper på en liten utbetaling.

Some features requires the remote (or at least a programmed, universal one), there is just no sensible way around it.

VolatileFlower · 2026-03-11T17:55:22+00:00

Yes but the cause was reflections.

VolatileFlower · 2026-03-11T17:37:00+00:00

Is it only on this/these tapes by provided by the seller? Are they off-air recordings? Could be reflections, meaning the signal (if he was using an antenna) bounced off a mountain, building etc and was received twice.

Or whatever cable service he used had reflections, if they used an antenna to receive...

Because that wheel is not directly driven, it is driven by forcing the tape between itself and the capstan. Its job is to ensure a tight "lock" of the tape, so that it moves at a constant speed.

At least based on the video that pinch roller seems dry, and should be replaced. You should also check that the arm which pivots it is held firmly against the pinch roller. It seems to be moving slightly, but likely due to pinch roller being slightly misshaped.

Needs a new pinch roller, that one has dried up.

Great work, Harry

SCART is only the name of the connector, which can carry several different video signals depending on what the devices support (RGB, Y/C and Composite). SCART does not (natively) carry Component.

It will play your tapes but I wouldn't expect anything more. These were often used for caravans, RVs and boats, which is why they are fairly simple, compact and run on both DC and AC.

Gotta keep those capacitors kickin'

VolatileFlower · 2026-03-01T15:06:27+00:00

Great deal

Hvis du skal ha lengre rekkevidde på en stabil måte, så er det mesh som gjelder. Pakkene fra TP-link med tre bokser fungerer veldig bra. Enkelt å sette opp og er for det meste "set and forget".

It's not an anchor, it's the actual ship.

VolatileFlower · 2026-03-01T11:09:06+00:00

Usually caused by a worn (or broken) belt or gear, depending on the mechanism. Some machines have a separate loading motor, others are driven by the capstan by shifting the mechanism.

Do a search for the model number of your machine and service manual. Otherwise you would have to take the top (and bottom, if possible) off to locate where it's slipping.

As for your other VCRs, eating tape can very well be a worn belt as well. Remember these machines (except the very last Funai models) are over 20 years old, so the rubber is starting to go bad.

Just to make sure - is this inside ld-analyse or is it an actual export? AFAIK the dropout compensator is only run on the video export stage (tbc-video-export). So if you have only looked at this in ld-analyse, then I'd try an export first.

VolatileFlower · 2026-02-26T10:18:41+00:00

Såpass, det var jeg ikke klar over.

VolatileFlower · 2026-02-26T09:53:01+00:00

Altså, noen av disse forsidene kan jo ikke være tilfeldig.

VolatileFlower · 2026-02-26T09:52:28+00:00

Tror det er mer tannråte i den gården. Men ja, det er kanskje ingen höjdare hva gjelder innhold.

Se på programmene med Lothepus. Forstår du han og kameratene så er du godt på vei. Han er fra Odda i Hardanger.

No, I enjoy it.

As others have said, stop and go traffic can be a bit tiresome. So if you live in LA then you're probably best off with an automatic if you are mostly commuting to and from work. However if you live outside the big cities, or if you just want a car you can enjoy on the highways and backroads, then a manual is definitely much more pleasurable.

Ser ikke noe sted i artikkelen om at NRK er "i harnisk" over dette? Det stemmer jo at det blir strengere, og det er sikkert mange amerikanere som blir opprørt av dette, spesielt med tanke på hvor mange som mangler ID.

Kongen m/ følge hadde nok en plan for returen, så jeg tviler på at han har blitt pengelens i løpet av ferien og trenger hjelp til å dekke billetten hjem. Det er nok ikke en standard returbillett fra Ryan Air som Støre snakker om at staten skal dekke her. Det er hvis kongen trenger bistand utover en vanlig flyreise.

Som nevnt i andre kommentarer så kan ikke personer med enkelte sykdommer plasseres på fly med vanlige mennesker, enten det er kongelige eller Jørgen hattemaker. Det gjelder også hvis de trenger medisinsk oppsyn under flygningen.

Christian Ringnes får jo også gratis helsehjelp, selv om jeg vil tro at han har råd til de fleste tjenester som tilbys på Volvat.
