There's nothing better than watching one of your splendid VCR repair videos during these soul destroying lockdown's - much better than all the mind numbing garbage on the telly - please don't stop !!

Excellent repair and some interesting new information to me! I learned a new thing about these complex vcr systems. My humble thanks.👍

I have a PV--V4522S model. It is the exactly the same as this one, except mine has a silver color. I bought it from a factory liquidation place years ago, and it has relatively little use. I used it for my Mother and Aunt previously. It now sits in storage. It has been a good little machine. Another great repair!

I like the hi Fi stereo sound of the VCR and really passionate about the product.

VCRs are a very cool piece of tech! I wish sometimes they still made new ones for those of us who don’t know repair and have a hard time finding a good used one!

Great repair!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Blessings

I have a Panasonic Pv-7450 vcr and it has the same problem it is dead, it does not move the spool forward. There is a power transistor next to the large filter that hardly turns on the equipment, it gets very hot, burns the finger, thanks to this video I think I can fix it. I'm going to subscribe to your channel, it has helped me a lot. Thanks again

You are very good at mechanical video cassette systems.

Very impressive work.

Thanks for Posting this great Video..

@12voltvids Norcal715 has been doing A LOT of VCR services as well. He always cleans the multi-mode switch with a small stainless brush and acetone. Those seem to be problematic with these units setting for so long as pots are on audio equipment. He uses acetone on so many things for 40+ years now. He lightly brushes the spring contacts in a manner that doesn't cause damage. He puts some new grease in before snapping it in. Then he uses glass cleaner on a swab to clean the optical sensors through the pass-through holes in the chassis and acetone on a swab to clean the heads & rubber parts. Just thought I'd mention. Love the videos on this channel. Different but useful techniques. Like the solder trick for test point. Hadn't seen that before.

Brilliant repair ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I just had a recent dumpster find, it was a different make and model of VCR built around June, 1999.

You are wonderful We need one here in Brazil

Really impressive i have a similar model Philips vcr. Really interesting

Thanks very interesting I like the diagnostics "Sherlock Holmes detection method"

I remember this same unit being sold at Costco for $69.00 maybe 10 years ago. I don't understand how it can be made for next to nothing. Yes I still have mine and it still works!

I'm still looking for a replacement video board for my Sony slv-r1000 it records and can use the inputs in color but playback is only B/w and i believe a critter relieved themselves on the board on the vents. i have since moved from that place but the vcr is still in need of repair

My Philips N6325 is something special. Can you bring it back to the '70 sound original? The sound now is at 80% i think. Can you get it to 110?

I have that identical VCR... I went to go use it today, and found it no longer works. If you hit play or fast forward, it thinks for a bit, and then the power shuts off (and it goes back to standby mode). It will happily receive and eject tapes though.
