It’s been a couple or so decades since I seen this one, great to see it again! It was always easier to install the cassette housing with the unit in the half-loaded position, you didn’t really need to take it apart as they mention, in the video, you just have to pull that rack gear on the cass housing under tension to get it properly aligned with the gear on the chassis. This was awesome man thanks for uploading this!
I made a big mistake and installed the cassette housing in the ejected position while the gears were in the half-loaded position. RIP NV-FS200 S-VHS. :(
@@iRepairElectronics I spent 12 hours - 2 late nights + a long morning - comparing three videos and going back & forth to ensure I didn't muck anything up, and double-checking, as the AG-W1 is a solid player as well. I had 2 of the model a good 20 years ago, and the only issue was heat; the lack of any fan ensured long hours of operation would heat up circuits and fry something (which did occur). But if you add a Sears fan in the back, the issue is gone. Your posted video has the right pacing for a novice, and one also develops deserved admiration for Panasonic's engineers in trying to simplify a complicated assembly for repairs.

Me too, it's a great hobby but almost impossible to do without the help of videos like this. The biggest issue is that they were made from plastic and so replacement is very difficult if a gear breaks.
Thanks so much for sharing this video easy to follow. I was able to align my AG-1970 and get it working again. It has been sitting for a few years and now most of the flip down control panel buttons do not work. Can the flip down panel be taken apart and cleaned or repaired?
Thats a great question. found a place in GRECE at beskas.eu/en/set-apo-asfalies-rodeles-bidon-hr-1139-erg1139h the have the same kit i bought some 20 years ago.
Hi. I recently overhauled an NV-7500 and it's now fully working so I might be able to help. Does the pinch roller solenoid kick in after the mechanism finishes its loading process?
Darn tootin it is. and yet when i tried to get a decent amount of money to make one of these working properly, customers always complained it was too much. and then went and bought a new VCR.
How is this complicated? It's close to any standard VCR mechanism - they're all complicated (and good designs). The only ones I'd call "not complicated" are the plastic ones from the early 00's to the end of VCR production, and those were cheap, nasty and broke easily. This is what a VCR mech should be like, nice big chunk of metal with low quantities of plastic, shame they stopped doing it instead choosing to lower costs with plastic.
You can see why the K-mechanism was designed to be much easier to align. And it is. I had to do one recently because the large sliding assembly had split, I just followed the service manual and put it together no problem, having never re-timed one before. The G-mechanism is a lot harder to work on. It's also very slow and clunky in operation compared to the K.
I think this is probably the most complicated Mech that Matsushita ever produced. This Video was originally produced by Sylvania/NAP-North American Philips. , which at the time was in connection with matsushita (Panasonic/National) for their VCR's.

Where do i get split lock washer?
👍👍👍
Brings me back to my time at Circuit City service.
Thanks for posting this video - Very helpful in getting my Panasonic AG-W1 working after 4+ years!
You’re welcome. I know it’s a horribly difficult thing to figure out.

@@iRepairElectronics where do i get split lock washer?
@@iRepairElectronics and do i need regrees gear?
Que nostálgia de los cientos de vcr que repare años atras y sobre todo esta mecánica G, pasarón muchos por mis manos en España
Vení a Uruguay asi me reparas el mio que quiero pasar unos vhs a digital XD
Hola amigo .. porque mi Panasonic av 1730 el tramsporte se sacude con mucha vibracion.. gracias
Спасибо вам, благодаря этому видео я смог собрать данный механизм так что бы он работал.
Thank You for uploading this Training Video.
I wish more people would fix VHS players these days. I can't find anyone in my area. Learning myself now.
Hard to find anyone to fix electronics these days.

Brilliant ! ! Thank you for this and the detail.
Your welcome. Good luck

How do u regrees?
Gracias muy bueno su video .Este tutorial me sirve para panasonic vhs NV-G39PX
@iRepairElectronics, do AG-W1 and AG-1830 use the same exact G-Chassis or mechanism?
Please make a video of vcr philips.
video about Hitachi please
My Panasonic p11 vcr super three head machine is in stand-by
mode. kindly help
First off , thats not a model number. Second i cant see your machine from here.
@@iRepairElectronics thanks for replying. its a VTR model
Good job sir
Thenks
anyone know if you can still by the split washers he refers to?
Thats a great question. found a place in GRECE at beskas.eu/en/set-apo-asfalies-rodeles-bidon-hr-1139-erg1139h the have the same kit i bought some 20 years ago.
Ottimo
👍👍👍
I have National VCR NV-7500
Cassette not play. Its tap around the drum but did nt play video.. why...how fix it..
If the tape is moving, you might have dirty heads. I will put up a video soon on how to clean video heads without breaking them

god i hated working on that mechanism. Thank god them days are gone.
wow ,,,,thats,,, so complex
Darn tootin it is. and yet when i tried to get a decent amount of money to make one of these working properly, customers always complained it was too much. and then went and bought a new VCR.
Hi Is it same as Panasonic VCR NV-SD 350
No
Wow, no vcr mechanism should be this complicated , this is a bad design......but still an interesting vid.

The G mechanism is just over-engineered. Compare this to the previous D mechanism and you'll see...
