Thanks - I'll give it another go. What's the chance I had a head fail?

Try pause. If you have a good picture in pause then its something to do with the captain servo locking or tracking pulse.

Try putting in pause. If you have a good pix then it is a capstan servo lock or control tracking pulse problem.

Try putting unit in pause. if picture is good then you either have capstand servo lock or control track problems Doug

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try it tonight.

I checked the pause mode last night and I do not get the double image. I get a snowy patch, but the image is only a single image.

I don't have a good image of the pix your describing. Since it plays back recordings from other units or prerecords I would think the heads are ok. Things to check Make sure the tape guides are going into the V stops. back tension on tape. Maybe a record switch voltage is low only effecting record. Other thoughts are the pg and fg pulses from the cylinder motor.But I'm still thinking about why the difference. Maybe its something to do with the head switching pulse as during record the the vcr creates the switch pulse and during playback it reads it off the tape. What things have you checked ? Do you have a schematic? Can you e-mail me a picture? Doug
