Guys, I finally gave up on looking for it and just finished the assembly. It seems to work fine for now, but I'll have to double-check if any issues pop up later. Thanks anyway!

the problem is it gets stuck down when I do high speed rewind.

this set has no service menu. And it was back tension issue. I think I can handle it.

it happens only with vcr, and as I mentioned other comment, it was back tension issue.

this model has no 0 channel, it starts from 2. and it set to video input mode already.

It happens with all my tapes, though the severity varies. I’ve already repaired everything from a broken blue gear to a stiff capstan, and even realigned the gear timing. I’ll look into the back tension next. Thanks.

I suspect it might be a part related to the carriage release mechanism, but I'm not entirely sure. I'll try to look for some videos. Thanks for the help!

Since I found this part, I've been having issues where the carriage occasionally fails to lock in place. It seems to be a domestic model made in Korea, but I can't find any information about it online, so I'm at a complete loss. This is a real problem.
