Google search for the service manual. Will depend why the cassette is stuck. Usually you can remove it by running the mechanism in the unload direction.

You can find it by google search.

Google search for the service manual.

@ i will search on google but i cannot find it Kindly send on my mail

Yes, Idler tire is usually worn out on these models.

Can this is not-english

It is old.

About $10 to $50, depends on how badly someone wants it. Probably going to need a lot of work to restore it to good working order.

Use Ethernet cable. More reliable and better performance.

Probably need to fine another VCR and take the power supply from it.

Can you send me the schematic diagram of the power supply and the actual assembly picture. Please if you can. My power supply had cap leaking and ruined the pc board circuits. Specially where he output is connected to the motherboard.

@@ferntom6092 You can find it by google search.

Yea, it is a shame. Sometimes I try sell it cheap and get no interest. Usually I have already saved it from landfill etc, so not that bad to scrap it.

NTSC Only. I don't know if there was a PAL version made.

@@Elecami Perhaps you need an cassette tape that is even recorded on an foreign television channel that is PAL, and put it on that same player. Wish I Had one of these.

@DjoleBuduciIlustrator The color signal is encoded differently with PAL and NTSC. The device must have specific support for either or both formats.

Yes! I have seen those on old Laptop / Luggable, I should have mentioned on the video. I also have one attached to a small 286 system. I should dig that out sometime. It said "EL" on the board...

Contact samsungparts.com/ Or your local equivalent.

What is this?

Contact your local Samsung spare parts supplier. Eg: samsungparts.com/ With the part number you need and they will get it for you.

I would rather use the Japanese style pugs, much nicer.

@Elecami they seem kind of dangerous honestly 🤣

@@CeasiusC They are fine. Nice and compact.

From the good old days.

eBay might have some.

@Elecami No eBay in Papua New Guinea

@@B.Ruslan1978 There will be some local equivalent.

Unusual to have a transformer fail. Maybe caused by something like a shorted rectifier. Might be able to get one custom made if you cant find another machine to take a transformer from.

​@Elecami Thanks for the answer! As far as I remember (it happened in the first 90s or last 80s), one bad technician bridged a fuse and that was the cause of the disaster. A second technician later diagnosed the fault. We still have the broken transformer with its wires apart. I hope no more componentes are involved in the fault. Regards from Spain :)

@@galimusic7164 Probably was a real problem causing the fuse to blow.

Maybe Linux dd can do it?

@ Thanks for this. I have never used Linux though. Will give it a go.

Probably not, unless you are prepared for a lot of work. The image sensors would need to be the same size.

Hopefully they stay in good condition.

Good quality stuff.

Good way to find interesting components.

Does look like those switches. These ones are either worn out or very bad. Difficult to push, they don't slide smoothly.

Differences are the sensors: Eye tracking, mouth camera and Pulse Rate. Along with the head band being different, worse than the regular G2 in my opinion. I play VRChat. It is a way to experience events like going to night clubs / movie theatres, explore amazing places etc in VR and meet up with people.

@@Elecami Thank you for your detailed answer, yes i had HP once, i think it was the first revision. Switched back to lenovo explorer bec i play only beat saber 99% of the time and HP is just too heavy.. But recently discovered UEVR and its great to play a shooter in VR and now again thinking maybe to get old G2 just for that. VRchat is cool, yet if we only could find more time in our lives for our real friends..

@@irgendna Just be aware Window Mixed Reality has been removed from Windows 11, you need to keep Windows 10 to use it.

Format the memory card? Probably.

It could also be the cable. I don't have much experience with debugging Index Headset, this was my first time to take them apart.

It's a good one.

Thanks. I scrap some and keep others. I have way too much stuff I have ran out of space.

I don't know, this one came with nothing other than what you see in the video. I think the battery type would depend on what battery housing is mounted to the back. It looks like there would be different options for it.

They were branded Panasonic in some regions where there was a naming conflict. Everywhere else and Japan they are National. More recently the Panasonic naming was adopted worldwide.

You would need to TV with composite video input or use an adapter from video to HDMI. It might be difficult to get a nice picture on a new TV because the VHS signal quality is poor.

It will only output when connected to a device or PD trigger of some sort. Not sure about USB extension, would depend if it is rated for USBC PD.

I think you would need to copy what id on the existing drives to new drives for it to work. Not sure if it is fussy with drive type.

Will try this idea

Hopefully it may work either way a SsD with an IDE to sata adapter

@@goggo-bp9oj read the comments below

Great you can find one in working condition.

Do I play? No.

It's likely they all have bad capacitors now, but still a possibility of getting lucky. If one was was stored well.

Why do you need to jump it to there? Sorry I'd have to go looking in the service manual to work it out. If it was connected reverse polarity, maybe a fuse is blown.

@Elecami I did the same jumper as you to the transistor and the problem was fixed, maybe when reversed polarized burned out some contacts that supply the transistor

@@YagoMarinsPatricio I see, just looked at the video, I had forgot about that. Must be a way to bypass a fault. Maybe there was a batch defect in the PCBs.

Thanks.

Bigscreen is easily my favorite. Ease of use , comfort, good picture, works directly with SteamVR light house / base station things, No Space calibrator to use VIVE trackers, no other software. Second place, I would recommend PlayStation VR2, good overall experience. But lacks light house tracking, will makes things difficult if you want to use VIVE trackers and Index controllers.

@Elecami you have eased some of my anxiety about considering it as my entrance into VR. I am currently slowly building a stronger and more up to date PC, then looking at the Bigscreen for VRChat and other games or sims. I wish you success in your TH-cam electronics journey!

@@fnafworldnumber1 If you haven't used VR before, you could get an Index first, that will get you started and get you all the additional parts you need for when you upgrade to Bigscreen.

@@Elecami I have used a quest 2 but have not done much with pcvr, entrance into that I suppose, but you may have a point in the sense of learning how to get everything set up

Thanks :-)

What could they have done to it by being not careful? There is no signs of damage to anything.

I had a xiami mi9 phone. No damage, not even a scratch. My sisters dropped it once onto soft carpet floor and its SOC thanks to shoddy manufacturing by xiaomi became loose on the board! The outside still didnt even have a scratch. Sadly some of these are too sensitive for even a simple knock.

@@kibblestherexouium4775 I see. I am not sure what's happened to mine. I wondered if it needs to go through a process of learning the environment or if I had something in the room upsetting it.

@@Elecami there are many possiblities. Sadly many vr headsets are sensitive and not designed for some people... including me as i would take it appart to learn how its put together.. and not be able to put it back together. I hope the beyond will serve you well!

No I don't have it sorry.

Yes. It is highly specialized part that is expensive to manufacture. Check the prices on long optical HDMI cables. It is similar.

Good information thanks. I think one of my others suffered the loading worm slipping, can't remember if I was able to do anything about it. I've noticed nylon parts cracked in other places like the part that holds the pinch roller on in older mechanisms. The grease probably degrades the nylon.

I agree, the revised G Mech circa 1990 was the high tide mark of build quality for Panasonic. VCRs like the one in this video did have less capacitor issues but tons of problems with load motor sleeves as you say and low torque drum motors in the early SD series of machines. Mind you, I'd still take a K mech over the competition. The other brands went cheap and nasty much sooner.

This isn't a cellphone you throw in the trash every year when upgrading, so the conditions / rules are different.

@@Elecami Is it really? It has the same issues as the cellphones, hardware that barely runs the current version of Android :D

@@semiRockethr They work fine for me and have done for many years. Even after what I did to them.
