Wanted to say thank you for giving me the confidence to tear open my R1000! Was having issues with the tape not spooling on eject and it turned out the guy I bought it from messed up a bunch of timings when reassembling it after installing the blue gear
Reminds me of the backyard mechanic that changed his timing belt and didn't line up the timing holes. Started his engine only to play a game of whack a valve.
At an old job I worked on a guys reel to reel, one of the complaints was that the tone control no longer worked on the headphone out, I did a CLA, checked the circuit and the tone control does nothing for the headphone out. I noted it and when he picked it up he kept insisting, said he was an audio engineer that he knew what he was talking about. Said he had the schematic that he'd bring it by, sure enough I was right, schematic showed it. 😂
Only a true specialist with attention to detail could ever handle such a repair. I noticed that the alignment between two parts was lost by accident at 27:43 and was relieved when the parts were quickly realligned only 16 seconds later :)
Dave, this just popped into my mind this AM. One of our local TV station just celebrated 75 years on the air. It reminded me of when our TV sets only received luminance signals. Now I know that you're not as old as I am so you might not know this but when women were on camera, they had to wear a certain color lipstick. Do you what color it was?... Give up? it was purple! Because the cameras weren't the best at picking up details like facial makeup, ladies had to wear purple lipstick to give more contrast while being in front of the studio equipment. I you get what you want for Christmas this year. haha
Yes i remember B/W tv. Color tv didn't start here till the late 60s so even though my grandmother had an early color tv, to go with her brand new cable TV (she lived 1 block from the owner of the new cable TV business and they started the build basically at his house and expanded out from there). FYI we had the first cable TV operation in the country. We got to see those distant USA channels crystal clear. When color started it was nbc and cbs first. We didn't get it here till about 69. Yes I know all about the make up used for both BW and early color. The cameras needed so much light and were not very good as far as dynamic range so they needed plenty of help.
a real technician working without groping in the dark, he knows what he is working with, not like other self proclaimed technicians who one day woke up and decided to do smart people's job with all talk and without result hence adding mechanical problem instead to simple problem.
It helps that i took all the training courses when i was in the business. I had to in order to keep my warranty service certification. Also having a photographic memory helps. I can visualise how these things work by just looking at them but I can't really explain to others. I can show them but if someone asked for the procedure i wouldn't be able to explain it well. I need the visual aid. Even the exploded views i really have to study but put the mechanism on the bench and I'll figure it out pronto. Even with unfamiliar mechanisms. Doesn't really matter much these days as people are tossing their old vcrs and cameras left right and center. It's only the fringe users that want to keep this old equipment alive. I can see a day when all the work dries up and then I will retire from the business again.
I'm about to embark on my first blue gear change myself...I have like all your different vids on the R1000 repairs saved so hopefully it will be simple it's classic symptom...
These mech are pretty simple to work on. Unlike those horrible JVC decks of the 80s. So many seem to get a hard on for the absolute worst mechanisms ever made. Panasonic made some garbage mechanisms too.
Sounds like a problem I had a few years a go with a USB stick. I discovered that then a USB stick was formatted to Fat32 it can handle only small files, so I formatted the USB stick again but now in NTFS that's for larger files. For me it worked then, if it is the problem I am not sure and maybe you already made the USB stick from Fat32 till NTFS. Good luck with the USB stick. Keep on going to make these great video's, greetings from the Netherlands.
The guy who forgot his gmail password is really screwed. If he tries to factory or hard reset his phone he will be locked out of it without his credentials. I have a friend who forgot his Apple ID password and recovery key and he couldn't even log out of it. However most if not all Androids allow you to remove the account as long as the phone is unlocked and not resetted. Anyway, great work on this VCR once again!
Lol, as an owner of my company I get the same calls regarding Google Business listings. I say the same thing to them as you do. The frustrating part of the whole issue is the time to cater to them. I wish I had the money lost to them and all their interruptions in projects. Nice video, Thanks
This is a situation that doesn't seem to be resolvable . I asked them to remove me off their calling list, I have blocked their numbers but they have endless supply of staff using different numbers, I have also told them do not call me. If want your assistance I will call you to no avail. lol. Thanks for the enjoyable and humorous videos@@12voltvids
One thing I can say from over 30 years of helping people with computer problems is that almost NOBODY backs-up their stuff. They'll call you in a panic when they can't access some files they haven't looked at in years goes missing but they won't invest in a backup system.
The Verbatim sounds like a broken solder joint heat issue, either on the connector or under a chip, when halfway through copying those big files it disconnects, and heat warp breaks the connection, if you get another like it, I wonder if you can keep it cool with a fan, opening the case then blowing air on it while the files transfer. If this isn’t successful, heat it with a hot air station or oven to solder melting temperature (out of the blue case) to reflow all the solder joints, good luck friend, I love the videos and content
hi you are very right about the usb drives they over heat i have the same data over many drives like 6 with same as i had bad drives in the past you do get bad parts on the drive i use the drive check softwear as long as the data is not bad on the same thing if file is audio where the bad drive it can be played back and recorded in a better place as you may know i am a big betacam fan i am finding alot of new sealed out stock tapes in the uk
I have one of these I need to replace the dreaded gear on, but I am not very motivated after finding a JVC S9800U for $10 at the thrift store, in perfect condition.
You have brought back memories of the Panasonic/Magnivox/Quasar VCRs with the mechanism that had the planetary gearset. The carriage rack gear would always get out of time due to the amount of torque to eject a tape. I have a funny memory of the service manual mentioning "harf loading gear" (harf??) that we used to get a good laugh about. Is it Klingon?
Ah yes the old crap panasonic chassis that was on so many of their machines including the pro decks. Changed hundreds of them. I see youtube is up to their old tricks again. Demonetized my last video so I took it down. Requested a manual review and apparently the bird shock has ruffled some feathers. They will probably hit this one and the others and I will have to take it down and edit it.
I enjoy your vids. Great stuff. I was wondering where you can get those windings (coils?) that run the direct drive motor? I have a Tascam 122mkii that uses 4 of those, and one failed. Its the same shape , but smaller. I managed to tap into it and get some ohm reading, 6 instead of 15 but strangely it still appears to work fine. 🤔 But I'd like to find a suitable coil to replace it if possible. Can you buy those anywhere these days, in various sizes? I'm here in the UK. Thanks!
A bird flew up to a high voltage train track transformer here in Sandefjord, Norway at our main train station to pick on the wrong wire. A shortage and a fire broke out and destroyed lots of ground wires around the station. It took 6 months to replace the wires and the transformer. The bird got instantly char grilled, I think someone actually managed to film it. Sweden, Norway, Germany and Switzerland are the only countries in the world using the odd train catenary 15 000 volt system and 16 2/3 Hz. Why this low and odd hertz? Apparently this was chosen back in the days to reduce the size of the AC motors of the trains.
There is a video circulating around of a distraught man in India walking around swinging his arms around on a train car while people were pleading with him to cone down. He hit the power wire and a fire broke out. Poor bastard smouldered for several minutes stop the train among screaming women. They showed us that in electrical safety training at work. Basically said if you are working with a ladder and it starts to fall towards wires let it go and get away from it.
Old lesson from a mentor at my first job at Grundig in my early 80's, working on old CRT TV's, put your spare hand in your pocket when reaching to the high voltage side with your other hand fingers, preferrable with talkum powder or anything dry on them in case you touch anything you should not touch.... @@12voltvids
There should be a downloadable that lets you adjust the surround sound settings on my machine it is called Musiccast by YAMAHA so there must be something similar for his surround sound system, come to think about it DTS.Neo 6 Cinema might be the settings he is looking for.
Most engineers would turn away things which have been "got at" by the owner or bodged by another outfit! Though I miss my time in the trade working on these things. Only do it occasionally as a hobby now. I used tooth-picks to align the gears; lighting not so good in our workshops. Have you encountered the VHS "C-loading" mechs, as used by Philips in Europe (known as the "Charlie-Deck" by us)? Similar to Betamax in design. They confused many engineers on first encounter. I might still have the trade training tape somewhere.
No never saw that vhsc but then i didn't see many vhsc. I have worked on less than 50 vhsc cameras. They didn't sell well here. 8mm had 95% market share in these parts.
@@12voltvids Sorry I wasn't very clear in my comment; what I actually meant was the C-loading mechanism like Betamax machines rather than the compact VHS format. I guess they were never that common.
@@BG101UK VHS c was never popular in my area. People just didn't buy into the format. That shop i worked at had Panasonic vhsc cameras and they all had multiple birthdays in the shop and the majority went back unsold. I would see 1 VHS c camera for every 100 8mm in the service seps and perhaps 2 or 3 full size VHS. That were that low in numbers in my part of town
Pity that Sony does not have any S-VHS machines for PAL. In Europe the top of the line we can get is a SLV-E1000 with H mechanism, which only plays VHS tapes. SLV-E90 shares the same mechanism as the SLV-R1000 but also plays VHS only. I am using Panasonic decks for S-VHS tapes.
@@crashbandicoot4everr I do not. I have had one but the picture became too dark and the replacement module is no longer available. I use NV-HS1000 and NV-HS960. Sold all of my NV-HS950.
33:53 If you have any USB 2.0 only ports (or maybe a USB 2.0 only hub), try it in one of those. I had a USB 3.0 flash drive do the same thing - constantly disconnecting. Worked reliably on a slower USB 2.0 port. No idea why it made a difference.
I have an SLV-R1000 here somebody was into, got the mechanicals sorted, but the power supply is somehow faulty. Replaced all the capacitors, still bad. Put a power supply from another working unit in it that I recapped, it turns on and plays, but with distorted video. Any ideas? Can't find a wiring diagram.
People should get sdd drives to backup thier tapes, they dont give out as easily as usb sticks when handling huge data amounts. And they are small enough nowadays. Alternatively you could also get a external disc drive that plugs into your computer via usb if you dont want to buy a dvd player again. Failry cheap as well.
I also have a Lexar 64 gb thumb drive that disconnects when I copy files to it. It has to be a known issue with Lexar. i'll research it and get back to you.
First world problem number 987: - "My surround sound isn't set up right can you come over and fix it?" I bet he calls 911 on his cell phone when his internet goes down.
Verbatim USB drives just suck. I bought a 64gb one that suddenly died while copying some files and it was barely 3 months old. Got myself a Kingston Exodia and no problems so far
Tempted to give him his money back and say don't call me again. I'm not an expert on his old acient receiver that does have a problem but he won't hear any of that. For example the speakers are connected to the "a"speaker terminals. Should be no sound if the a is off and the b is on but there is. Turn on the b and the center channel comes on tell him that's not normal and he tells me i am wrong. I just don't answer the phone when he calls.
@@12voltvids I can feel you. I had a guy who had accidentaly set his phone to take photos in HEIC format instead of JPEG, and he was calling me every single day to convert his photos. I installed a trial software on his machine but he neglected to convert the files before the trial expired, even though I informed him about it. Guess what happened after it expired...
For the usb drive, have you tried to use dd and copy the entire block device to a known good location? If dd is successful you can mount the block storage and recover. Hth
Most the better HT receivers has a microphone that come with them for setting up gains on channels automatically. If not he needs to learn how to manually go in and change it manually, as everyone hearing different and older people you have to set channel gains higher to compensate. Yes center especially and rears usually will be to low if not setup correctly. Setting up a HT receiver properly is a pain in the rear. Then speaker placement is a whole another story. I hated setting those up as people typically junk speakers, thin wires and then having to run to hide and teaching people how to use them as bad as teaching a older person not computer savvy how to use a computer, or smart phone back in the day. Yes SSD’s and flash drives can be unreliable physical media way to go for backup reason still use a Blu-ray burner and external spinning rust drive for backups. Never trust a SSD as they hit max write cycles and start to fail, or controller fails. Yes SSD for boot as much faster, but hard drive for storage which gets dump to DVD, or Blu-ray Discs for important stuff.
hi payed £25 for a working betacam sp deck all that was bad was caps behide the vu meter and a new 500ma fuse up and running 18 hrs on the units it had be in a lock up for years
I have a video phone which is not Y2K compliant so I download new firmware but try as I might it wouldn't even install so that is a no go actually it is a Motorola V975.
That's USPS they are expensive. The problem with DHL fed ex and ups is it might be cheap for you to ship but they bill the receiver at the other end customs broker fees and taxes. I had someone send me a broken camera by fed ex. He insured it for 500 hoping it would get lost. I got a bill for 97.00 3 weeks after it arrived. Owner refused to pay the fee so i refused to send it back. Got me a nice camera which i recently sold for 200. (A hi 8 camera). There is no tax or broker fees charged by the post office unless it is a high value item. I tell everyone no declared value over 20 bucks because they are paying the fees. At least if they fuck up and put some stupid value at the post office they hold it and i make the owner pay me before I collect if. Same with ups and dlh. They won't deliver till the broker fee is paid and id owner fails to pay they get it back collect. Fed ex leaves it at the door and bills later. That led backlight for that Samsung I fixed in September i requested the seller, a parts seller in the us to ship by post. They shipped fed ex. A back light that cost 49.00 USD came with a 47.00 extra by from fed ex. I am still waiting for the owner to pay for it. I made 100 to change a backlight and now i get a 47.00 bill because the lazy supplier was too lazy to take it to the post office and mail it. Easier to click a link and have a truck pick it up. The bastards charged me 30usd shipping.
@@12voltvids Yeah my friend over there was charged 50 US cents. But that was customs processing fee. The items had no customs attached gladly. But that's a developing country, so yeah.
@@kyoudaiken here fed ex charges 25.00 processing fee. Even if there is no tax or duty on the item they have to charge tax on this processing fee which is 2.50. then they charge a 10.00 loan fee to loan you the 2.50. DHL and ups don't charge a loan fee because you have to pay them before you get it. That's good though as I just refuse it and the sender get it back shipping due. Serves them right for sending it that way. They end up pissed off at me but i don't care they didn't follow directions. You can't fix stupid.
@@12voltvids Yep that's rough over there. But hey, on the other hand, mobile internet providers are ripping us off here in Germany BIG time. Want true unlimited? That's 80 EUR a month. Meanwhile in the Netherlands it's just 30 EUR a month... I guess it's all the same, just different.
Fun fact: all of those bearing housings bend.😂 I also have a whole pile of BRAND NEW cam gears that im hoarding. Ive got your email so if you need some let me know and ill shoot you an email.
I haven't seen a cam gear break in years and I do have several donor machines as usually they are not repaired unless it's an svhs deck and even even they are cheap here. Most sell for 25 bucks. I can't figure the us market our because around here nobody pays much. I see people with $ in their eyes asking the moon for stuff but it never sells. Recently someone posted a Shrek tv, a 13" CRT with the cabinet shaped like Shrek head with ears asking 9999.00! They have since dropped to 3500.00. on drugs they will be lucky to get 100. Then someone lusred a Sony pvm monitor for 20,000. That would have been about 3000 new back in the 80s. Only stupid people pay that kind of money and people around here are not stupid.
@@12voltvids I sell dozens of the old Sony VCRs every month so I've searched everywhere for parts. Bought 100 cam gears from another country. Thought it might be a scam but they showed up 2 weeks later.
this doesn't surprise me that they're flagrantly breaking the law, as just recently they've tried to skirt around the EU banning of escrow fees by changing the name to "data transfer in" and "data transfer out." they already ruined their chances to assume innocence because they've sent an email to every google cloud account declaring this. if they only get a slap on the wrist it's nothing more than a finger wag that tells google "we can keep doing this but we have to make it less obvious"

@@crashbandicoot4everr I do not. I have had one but the picture became too dark and the replacement module is no longer available. I use NV-HS1000 and NV-HS960. Sold all of my NV-HS950.
ahh, our good old friend...the SLVR1000.....seen many times lol
33:53 If you have any USB 2.0 only ports (or maybe a USB 2.0 only hub), try it in one of those. I had a USB 3.0 flash drive do the same thing - constantly disconnecting. Worked reliably on a slower USB 2.0 port. No idea why it made a difference.
I tried on my laptop. Usb2 only ssbuts old as the hills.
yes to Dave always follow his instructions fix my blue gear
my boy has the blue gears an the new bearings in stock
I have an SLV-R1000 here somebody was into, got the mechanicals sorted, but the power supply is somehow faulty. Replaced all the capacitors, still bad. Put a power supply from another working unit in it that I recapped, it turns on and plays, but with distorted video. Any ideas? Can't find a wiring diagram.
People should get sdd drives to backup thier tapes, they dont give out as easily as usb sticks when handling huge data amounts. And they are small enough nowadays. Alternatively you could also get a external disc drive that plugs into your computer via usb if you dont want to buy a dvd player again. Failry cheap as well.
I would never trust anything to USB drive or SSD. Good old spinny hard drive best.
I also have a Lexar 64 gb thumb drive that disconnects when I copy files to it. It has to be a known issue with Lexar. i'll research it and get back to you.
This wasn't lexar it was a verbatim USB. I showed it.
You can still get capstan bearings on these.
Easy enough to fix. Owner doesn't want it back. Told me to keep it.
Try spraying the usb chips with cold spray or the compressed air can to get them cold ... and try again...
First world problem number 987: - "My surround sound isn't set up right can you come over and fix it?" I bet he calls 911 on his cell phone when his internet goes down.
Verbatim USB drives just suck. I bought a 64gb one that suddenly died while copying some files and it was barely 3 months old. Got myself a Kingston Exodia and no problems so far
I cant do this Kind job
Ur defferent ❤
What i see u sir is
U loved ur job
I got to hate this job 20 years ago when i told my old boss to shove it up his ass and walked.
I feel bad for you having to deal with the surround sound guy. People like that are a headache.
Tempted to give him his money back and say don't call me again. I'm not an expert on his old acient receiver that does have a problem but he won't hear any of that. For example the speakers are connected to the "a"speaker terminals. Should be no sound if the a is off and the b is on but there is. Turn on the b and the center channel comes on tell him that's not normal and he tells me i am wrong. I just don't answer the phone when he calls.
@@12voltvids I can feel you. I had a guy who had accidentaly set his phone to take photos in HEIC format instead of JPEG, and he was calling me every single day to convert his photos. I installed a trial software on his machine but he neglected to convert the files before the trial expired, even though I informed him about it. Guess what happened after it expired...
@@crashbandicoot4everr he asked you to buy it for him?
@51:39 You mean the spindles on the cassette itself ?
For the usb drive, have you tried to use dd and copy the entire block device to a known good location? If dd is successful you can mount the block storage and recover. Hth
Had to copy 1 file at a time.
@@12voltvids sad story. Glad it worked out bud
Most the better HT receivers has a microphone that come with them for setting up gains on channels automatically. If not he needs to learn how to manually go in and change it manually, as everyone hearing different and older people you have to set channel gains higher to compensate. Yes center especially and rears usually will be to low if not setup correctly. Setting up a HT receiver properly is a pain in the rear. Then speaker placement is a whole another story. I hated setting those up as people typically junk speakers, thin wires and then having to run to hide and teaching people how to use them as bad as teaching a older person not computer savvy how to use a computer, or smart phone back in the day.
Yes SSD’s and flash drives can be unreliable physical media way to go for backup reason still use a Blu-ray burner and external spinning rust drive for backups. Never trust a SSD as they hit max write cycles and start to fail, or controller fails. Yes SSD for boot as much faster, but hard drive for storage which gets dump to DVD, or Blu-ray Discs for important stuff.
Some ebay sellers want over 600$ for that Sony TX100 camera! There is a NIB for about 300$
eBay full of dreamers and idiots. Guess who the idiots are?
20 Years ago I nearly got a job in a VCR factory but it was thought that I wouldn't be able to work fast enough therefore I didn't get the job.
Considering they were made by robots the only job is loading parts and stacking boxes of completed machines.
Did the bird that got zapped incident occur in front of your house? How did you wind up getting it on video? Wow!
No i found it on the net. There are several variations floating around and the raw footage it up as well.
"bird electric" is the seach term for the original footage. It's 7 years old.
I wonder how much such a fix should cost. Fixing totally abused equipment. I would suggest $ 500 - 1000
Lucky to get 150 for a job like this max.
hi payed £25 for a working betacam sp deck all that was bad was caps behide the vu meter and a new 500ma fuse
up and running 18 hrs on the units it had be in a lock up for years
I bought a betacam SX cheap working condition.
I have a video phone which is not Y2K compliant so I download new firmware but try as I might it wouldn't even install so that is a no go actually it is a Motorola V975.
Try to copy the USB stick on a USB2.0 port. Maybe the controller is overheating, what it might not do with the much lower bitrate of USB2.0.
I did. My laptop only has usb2.0 and same result. Had to copy them 1 at a time.
I have a slv-e90 in the house for blue gear repair 😎
Awesome !!! 😃😃😃
You should connect your special friend to the google-guy
Sounds like overheating on the USB stick.
What happened to the bird in the begining of the video.
Got dizzy, probably.
I don't know what's wrong with your parcel services but from Germany with DHL I can ship a package a size of this to the Philippines for 50 EUR.
That's USPS they are expensive. The problem with DHL fed ex and ups is it might be cheap for you to ship but they bill the receiver at the other end customs broker fees and taxes. I had someone send me a broken camera by fed ex. He insured it for 500 hoping it would get lost. I got a bill for 97.00 3 weeks after it arrived. Owner refused to pay the fee so i refused to send it back. Got me a nice camera which i recently sold for 200. (A hi 8 camera). There is no tax or broker fees charged by the post office unless it is a high value item. I tell everyone no declared value over 20 bucks because they are paying the fees. At least if they fuck up and put some stupid value at the post office they hold it and i make the owner pay me before I collect if. Same with ups and dlh. They won't deliver till the broker fee is paid and id owner fails to pay they get it back collect. Fed ex leaves it at the door and bills later. That led backlight for that Samsung I fixed in September i requested the seller, a parts seller in the us to ship by post. They shipped fed ex. A back light that cost 49.00 USD came with a 47.00 extra by from fed ex. I am still waiting for the owner to pay for it. I made 100 to change a backlight and now i get a 47.00 bill because the lazy supplier was too lazy to take it to the post office and mail it. Easier to click a link and have a truck pick it up. The bastards charged me 30usd shipping.
@@12voltvids Yeah my friend over there was charged 50 US cents. But that was customs processing fee. The items had no customs attached gladly. But that's a developing country, so yeah.
@@kyoudaiken here fed ex charges 25.00 processing fee. Even if there is no tax or duty on the item they have to charge tax on this processing fee which is 2.50. then they charge a 10.00 loan fee to loan you the 2.50. DHL and ups don't charge a loan fee because you have to pay them before you get it. That's good though as I just refuse it and the sender get it back shipping due. Serves them right for sending it that way. They end up pissed off at me but i don't care they didn't follow directions. You can't fix stupid.
@@12voltvids Yep that's rough over there. But hey, on the other hand, mobile internet providers are ripping us off here in Germany BIG time. Want true unlimited? That's 80 EUR a month. Meanwhile in the Netherlands it's just 30 EUR a month... I guess it's all the same, just different.
@@kyoudaiken our internet is over 100 a month and that is for slow speee (150mb) want 1g or 3gig and it is over 150
I own a fully working Panasonic Super VHS on this Scale- Panasonic machine i have
Panasonic and JVC made the worst svhs machines. Always breaking down. Mitsubishi and Sony the best sans the dry grease and blue gear.
Fun fact: all of those bearing housings bend.😂 I also have a whole pile of BRAND NEW cam gears that im hoarding. Ive got your email so if you need some let me know and ill shoot you an email.
I haven't seen a cam gear break in years and I do have several donor machines as usually they are not repaired unless it's an svhs deck and even even they are cheap here. Most sell for 25 bucks. I can't figure the us market our because around here nobody pays much. I see people with $ in their eyes asking the moon for stuff but it never sells. Recently someone posted a Shrek tv, a 13" CRT with the cabinet shaped like Shrek head with ears asking 9999.00! They have since dropped to 3500.00. on drugs they will be lucky to get 100. Then someone lusred a Sony pvm monitor for 20,000. That would have been about 3000 new back in the 80s. Only stupid people pay that kind of money and people around here are not stupid.
@@12voltvids
I sell dozens of the old Sony VCRs every month so I've searched everywhere for parts. Bought 100 cam gears from another country. Thought it might be a scam but they showed up 2 weeks later.
yeah if google refuses to add you to their do not call registry, they're probably breaking several laws there.
this doesn't surprise me that they're flagrantly breaking the law, as just recently they've tried to skirt around the EU banning of escrow fees by changing the name to "data transfer in" and "data transfer out." they already ruined their chances to assume innocence because they've sent an email to every google cloud account declaring this.
if they only get a slap on the wrist it's nothing more than a finger wag that tells google "we can keep doing this but we have to make it less obvious"
They call at least 5 times a week.
They are not breaking any laws. Number is listed as a business and businesses are not on do not call list.
