JVC VCR replace/repair question

I do a lot more T.V.'s than VCR's these days, but I tell everyone, if your older (good quality VCR), is not shot, free to lok at it, & it's likely to be worth repair, & will outlast anything out there now! Rono.

look for a little peg which has probably snapped off one edge of the flap, this forms the hinge. superglue it on and , with a bit of flexing of the flap, you should get it to pop back into place. Note that the door is raised by a lever attached to the casette basket, observe its position. If you can't find the broken piece, you may have to make something instead.

open the machine, remove the front panel and see if you can glue that button back onto the panel with silicone glue which will allow it to move a bit when set.

depends on the age. older ones mostly only had the codes preprogrammed for that manufacturer's curent line.

if the heads, transport and tuner etc. are in good shape, then repair your vcr. Or simply look around for a decent hifi streo model from the likes of panasonic, Akai, poss. Toshiba, or sony going cheap from someone who has upgraded to DVD. many people are practically giving them away.

I know it sounds kind of obvious but eBay is always a good place to look. You might even be able to find the same make and model as yours, maybe even in prisine condition. Or you could opt for a higher tier model such as an S-VHS deck, which can also be controlled by the TV's remote. You can then sell your one on there and use the cash to go towards the new one!
