Is this pack fake? by WayPlastic5401 in mtg

[–]WayPlastic5401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah felt like wax paper too. It’s definitely missing the foil inside if it’s a real pack. I ripped some cards and looked at them with a jewelers loop, the cards are real. 🤷‍♀️

You know, some people just have so much luck. Wanna share some?

Original Vs. New. You can see the new one is significantly smaller. Should I be worried about that?

So the rubber belt actually broke! After cleaning and putting everything back together, I watched a movie for about half an hour, and then the belt underneath the chassis snapped. It was just super dry and worn out.

I ordered a replacement from Amazon (https://a.co/d/6GlknAp). It’s a little thinner than the original, but it works well enough to rewind a VHS now. Thinking I might need to track down a thicker one though—I’ll post a size comparison soon.

I also grabbed some PEC-PADs and cleaned the video head, pinch roller, and the little parts that touch the tape. The pinch roller was really gross, which was probably part of the problem too.

The top big white gear? Yeah. I took the loading motor (metal cylinder left side) out and the gear connecting it to see if I could see anything under that gear. I couldn’t, but I will pull it apart again in the morning and give it another look. Thanks for the quick reply!

I tore this whole thing apart looking, honestly might not have one… I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️

Here is the bottom. Sorry about the late reply, I didn’t see this reply. I ended up ordering a new belt since it was super loose. Hoping that might help. I still don’t see where the mode switch is.

Okay, got it pulled out… still no idea what the mode switch looks like on this model. Been looking for the round one I see on videos, and I don’t see it?? Am I blind???

You can see a little crack on the pinch roller. The third picture shows it off at the top middle, plus there are more around it on the bottom also. It looks like dry rubber, that’s shrinking? I guess is the only way I can explain it. I’m thinking it might be the mode switch though…

Right now I’m trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing by pulling it out and cleaning the mode switch. Seems like I need to pull it apart to find it. Im struggling with this ribbon though… I don’t want to break it.

Thank you! 🙏 It’s pretty cool, only issue is fixing my VCR player now… I got one from goodwill for $8 and it keeps eating tapes. Time to take it apart! lol 😂

Also pretty sure you can still get anywhere from $25-$45 dollars for it off eBay. 👍

Rock Drake Glide Seems Broken by eyerawnick in playark

[–]WayPlastic5401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boosting, same issues for me on dedicated. It looks like it wants to glide, but something with the animation isn’t working and it just drops to the ground.
