I recently inherited a Hitachi VT-UX 627A and for the life of me can't figure out how the cover can be removed so I can clean the heads. I removed the one visible screw that secures the lid but it won't budge and I don't want to force it. Called Hitachi and they wouldn't tell me!
On other manufacturer's VCRs I've owned and successfully cleaned, the top was easily removable. Just a matter of removing the screws and sliding it off. Hoping some of the wizards in this group can help. Thanks.
