This was the most satisfying video repair

Well done young man!!!

I've found that's very common for those Mitsubishi belts. They turn into the stickiest goo imaginable. I did a HS-411 a few years ago, it was on my hand for a week in spite of cleaning. I've got several other Mitsubishis of the same age, these had belts/rollers redone a few years back by my repairman friend.

NOROKEL IN Armenian Language it's mean repair LOL Good video thanks I'm Armenian from Lebanon

That Mitsubishi VCR overall is in pretty good shape despite the belt mess issue which has since been cleaned up and removed. I see no evidence of tampering or "attempted repair" by anyone else so that's a plus. Once again, it's Mr. Acetone (the workshop technician's best friend) for the win :o)

Bravo!

I actually felt like I had dirty hands for a second when I paused just after the 4min mark to grab something

I wear neoprene gloves under maxiflex gloves now days for grimy job. Even Shango wears them for just about all jobs.

Goo-B-Gone works for me.

An ultrasonic cleaner is very good at removing belt tar.

A great rebirth of a vcr

I had a couple of old Toshiba, and an old rca vcrs that had melted belts, gross!

Love the video, going to try tackling a similar job on an HS-U69 that I just picked up. I think I am going to also pick up one of those measur-a-belt II cards. Is there an online refernce somewhere that you were looking at for belt replacements?

Yeah, that stuff is super nasty. It does not like to come off the skin.

That green grainy soap you see in the bathroom at many mechanics shops will get that nasty goo off your hands.

ty.

Lime scouring powder, a soft scouring pad and some elbow grease

hello norcal you can your hands cleaning with desinfection alcohol and the poelies from the video to greats from nieuw-buinen holland

I have the exact same problem with a Mitsubishi HS-U760 SVHS recorder but I can't seem to find replacement belts. Since the reel belt turned into a melted mess, I couldn't measure it so I wrapped a piece of string around the pulleys and measured the circumference,, which was 11.6 inches. Any suggestions on where I might find a belt source? I found that alcohol works well for cleanup and it is much safer health wise than using acetone.

I need a vcr repaired 😩😩 same model but won’t turn on at all

Anyone know where to buy an equivalent PRB MEASUR-A-BELT II?

I have a Mitsubishi HS-U65 S-VHS AS soon as you turn it on it turns it self off within 30 seconds. How can I fix this. What do you think is wrong with it? How much do you think it would cost

Where is a good place to find these belts? I have a couple of laserdisc players that are needing them.
