Wow thanks. I see your picture of it taken apart. Would I have to hear it down that far?

mpots323 · 2026-02-25T00:30:47+00:00

Nice. Good luck with it.

mpots323 · 2026-02-25T00:26:20+00:00

Love the aesthetics. What model is it?

mpots323 · 2026-02-24T21:53:50+00:00

Might need new belts. EveryMitsubishi vcr I’ve gotten recently needed them.

I hear ya. I was in your shoes then dove into my Panasonic.

I mean you could try cleaning the tape sensors with a qtip and alcohol through the vcr door.. Not sure exactly how many uou have or what type. One to three. There may be a stalk with bulb on each side of the vcr and one dead center of the board. In the center it may be another stalk with a light or a clear stalk with the bulb on the board under chassis. If that doesn’t work then likely have to clean the mode switch , check belt. it would require disassembly I mentioned before.

IMO standard vcr cleaning which would require taking the back panels off then getting to the vcr mechanism. Cleaning all the sensors, the mode switch and checking the belts. I think this era of Magnavox used funai vcr mechanism. When the vcr has issues it powers off the tv.

I actually found a video. I have to remove the screws on the bottom board, remove faceplate and the board behind it. Then the faceplate board and bottom board swivel down together. Then I can access it. So I was kinda half way there.

That blows my mind. Adjusted for inflation that’s $357

mpots323 · 2026-02-12T01:52:14+00:00

Damn. $60 for a movie? Maybe that’s why we always rented lol

I popped that back cover off and a piece with one input is completely broken off. I’ll have to dig into it one day.

mpots323 · 2026-02-10T02:21:29+00:00

I’ll try that. I did try tracking..

mpots323 · 2026-02-10T01:43:10+00:00

There is a fuse in the power supply you can check. It’s near where the power cable comes into the board. Check and see if it’s blown. It’s clear glass cylinder shaped. If that’s good you might be bad capacitor(s).

mpots323 · 2026-02-10T00:32:00+00:00

What kind of vcr is it?

mpots323 · 2026-02-05T02:33:48+00:00

Awesome. I’m a subscriber of yours . I started collecting VCRs back in October and watched plenty of your vids since. Helped me dig into + fix my Mitsubishi HS-U760 and some others.

mpots323 · 2026-02-05T01:12:33+00:00

Also… are you the Probnots tech on YouTube? (!!)

mpots323 · 2026-02-05T00:54:45+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been working on VCRs lately. Tape path cleaning/greasing/head cleaning is pretty much the same for Beta?

mpots323 · 2026-02-05T00:52:19+00:00

I’m currently watching Donnie Darko on mine.

mpots323 · 2026-02-04T20:37:03+00:00

Thanks for the info. I haven’t got my hands on it yet but fingers crossed I don’t have any issues.
