Greetings . First of all, congratulations on the channel!!! EXCELLENT!!! your work what you are doing, I have an Onkyo Digital A-8800 Interga with all the modules of the equipment are Onkyo which are an M504 sound amplifier, with 2 EQ540 Interga equalizers and 2 of EQ-201 and another EQ-25 and a deck TA-2550 Interga and another TA-2750 Interga and another TA-2044 Interga and another TA-RW 909 double deck, and an Interga CP1500F turntable and Ortofon 40 turntable needle and Interga DX-708 CD, and the T-4500 Interga radio All models are from the Onkyo brand, which is the best from Onkyo. NOT mass production if they are not selected from Onkyo. And the cables connected to the equipment are from the KabelDirekt Pro Series RCA brand and 4 DAS R Speakers. -212 . and 2 Mivoc hype 10 g2 hifi subwoofers, 300 w, from 20 to 180 hz and a TEAC X-2000R Reel-Reel Recorder tape recorder and I also have the TEAC A-6600 . FINALLY, A CLASSIC FROM THE 80S AND 90S of sound equipment from that time, over the years I have never had a module break, that can be seen from how they worked before and the manufacturing materials, I hope to have it last for many years to come. quality of a good musical equipment, greetings and very good videos that you have a great like for your great videos, they no longer manufacture such great sound models as these devices, it is a shame that nowadays everything is plastic, greetings from Barcelona- Spain

What optimal maintenance does the Teac A6600 have for proper maintenance of the player? Oh, you have to grease and lubricate some part of the module, thank you, regards, Hello Whetecoulditgo , I have a question about how to clean the heads of a Teac A6600. Can you make a video about it on the A6600? Is isopropyl alcohol used for cleaning? and how to clean it, thanks a greeting and a good like from a subscriber,,,,,

Nice, great to see the factory capacitor didn’t leak at all! It’s a very cool console except for that clock cap. The Xbox also looks great on that Panasonic!

What are some of your favorite Xbox games?

what brand of soldering iron are you using?

So is this a factory error or is it something that has to be changed out every couple years on certain Xboxes?

There might be a dead spot in the spindle motor. I suggest hooking it up to a power supply and run it like crazy for a while. It might burn off any corrosion that may be causing the dead spot. 12voltvids has covered this in some of his videos. Good luck!

Good luck with the laser from China.

Home entertainment equipment, awesome when it does work. I’ve tried fixing a low end DVD drive and while it does work, it doesn’t really eject properly. Usually they are reliable since very little can fail, considering your unit had issues with DVDs and only sometimes played CDs, it does seem like a laser assembly problem. Nice to hear the VCR actually works, would be good to give it a clean while you are working on it. The motor might fix itself with enough usage but it might be a bit weak if it can’t initially spin a disc up. Fortunately I have a good selection of working players so the ones I have with issues aren’t much of a problem. Nice to see a new upload!

Nice Betamax machine! I definitely need to get some more Sony HiFi and video equipment from the 80s to pair with my 1987 woodgrain Trinitron. Have you thought about adding some sort of CRT TV alongside the flatscreen? Not really necessary but it could be fun to use side by side. The changes to the setup look great so far!

Awesome setup, all the consoles and equipment like that SVHS deck look really cool! Seems like a good start, if nothing else is added into the first section, you could add something like a shelf above the VCR and NES for small storage. Maybe some tapes or NES things? Another option would be to include an entire area just for the video connections. Something like an older AV receiver would work great, switch between consoles and equipment and also have the option to use external speakers. I’m sure the speakers on that TV sound great though, looks like it was pretty high end for the time!

The gear for the tape carriage likely has a crack in it which is causing it bind up. Eventually it wont work at all.

While this is a fun little project, i am very glad to see this work. If something bad were to happen and digital communications went down, this would be a great way to be able to relay important information to each other using this tried and true Analog tech. Glad i still have a couple old CRTs with analog tuners in them laying around.

Great video. Judging by the grey hair, you and I around the same age. Ive been thinking about doing this exact thing and looking up videos on how to do it.

It was 3AM when I was watching this last night. Made for a great watch on a restless night. Love the video!

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, at least to just test it out. I’ve got a variety of CRTs small and large and they would be perfect with something like this. I guess a good question is what the source should be, DVDs and Blu Rays make sense as they are reliable. VHS would be fun but not ideal to put unnecessary wear and tear, maybe something like a DVD/HDD or similar combo unit? Of course another option would be a dedicated computer for the source content, I’d definitely use something like an old PowerMac or early Intel Mac combined with my iTunes library. You could always use Coax cable if you already have a bunch or have the internal wiring for it. Sure it might seem useless, but then again I also have CRTs and obsolete devices.

I have wanted to do that, but I live in a populated area, and I know if I did I wpuld have my father and his ham radio club at my door real quick, and real angry if I make too much noise lol (that and I dont want to fuck with the CRTC)

I just found your channel. And for the experiment broadcasting i enjoyed it very well. It is fascinating making your own station with the possibility of anything you want. Plus i think i might use this setup watching my nephew when babysitting. I have control over the tv and i decided lights out no more t.v. lol

Signal distance test maybe?

In 1985 my Dad,who just freshly divorced mom, bought me and my brothers one gift. The quasar vcr. Sat in my mothers home until well into the 90s.

Can you play evil dead on it?

I got mine as a gift like 20 years ago, it worked fine for many years (except the source/tape switches made worse and worse contact). I think once the power switch stopped making contact, then one of the erase head wires broke which took me head scratching for a while, then it started slowing down, one of the idler wheels' grease was gummed up. Just the next time I wanted to use it, it didn't move at all - the other idler wheel was frozen solid. Re-lubricated that too and now it basically works fine enough as long as you jiggle the source/tape switches until it plays. I'm rather happy with it except its tensioning mechanism has the tendency to oscillate on 15cm and 12cm reels.

I'm trying to understand what you were trying to fix?? You never stated the exact issue or symptoms your deck is having... I watched the video. The VU meters worked when you turned it On and the reels seem to be turning fine when you initially pressed the Play selector. What were you trying to do, cleaning and lubrication? You obviously adjusted or did something incorrect when re-assembling the motor pulley and made matters worse by messing around back there. The PT-862D is a nice simple 3-head deck and internally looks well designed compared to other "space shuttles" I've seen the insides of.

I’m not sure what yours was doing that needed fixing but mine (same model) seems to have a frozen capstan motor. I noticed you removed the motor and then replaced it. Did the motor spin okay or was that the problem?

Ha! I remember those. It was just easier to break out with pencils and paper😅 Good trip down memory lane tho

That trip was "Perfect!"

Merlin (original) had 6 "games" - list is embossed on back. Tic tac toe Music machine - 10 notes + rest, 1/4 notes 48 step sequencer #1-So(low so - G3) #2-Do(C4 - middle C) Re(D4) Mi(E4) Fa(F4) Sol(G4) La(A4) Ti(B4) Do(C5) #10-Re(high Re - D5/D6?) Echo or Simon (1-9 notes) Blackjack 13 not 21 Magic square, light LEDs in a square Mindbender or Mastermind - guess a sequence (1-9) of numbers

What was the issue? Was everything fighting you? I get days like that too lol

Dude, you don't wanna jump the gun on a bridge rectifier!

What's the actual device number? Is it actually a switching regulator, IC or is it a power MOSFET? But the tester showing it as a resistor, definably means it's fried.

Ok.. I wouldnt ever put oil in a speaker especially detergent 3in1. There should be no friction when the cone vibrates. The magnet shaft should be as clean as possible as it may attrack ceramic bits from the magnet as it broke off and thats most likey why it sounded tinny once put back on. Glad it was an easy fix though in all! Maybe once in a while youtube actually pushes relatable content. Subbed! 👍

You seem to know the important things. Reel to Reel, the best sound I have ever heard when I was a teenager in late 1970's and since I have always wanted to own 1. Own 19 FM Tuners, 11 Integrated Amps, 3 Monster receivers, 8 CD players, 18 pairs of speakers and 3 cassette (hate vinyl). Must have new Belts in that machine.

I recently aquired my childhood VCR too. It definitely filled a void

Thanks ror commenting! I can't wait to film part 2.

As soon as I saw the blackened fuse, I guessed something catastrophic happened in the power supply. So I think it might be worth checking the switching MOSFET on the heat-sink as well, in-case that's also blown. It could have been caused by a surge on the mains.

Sometimes it's just nice when something works 👍

I bought the same unit in 85. what a great vcr

As soon as I saw that multimeter I knew you were going to replace the fuse and try it 🙂 The desoldering pump was definitely a surprise. Hope it springs back to life with the new rectifier.

Damage blue ray disc movies doesn't play at all everything proven people are lying people now days about blue ray disc movies doesn't get scratche up everything proven people are lying people now days for there money now days

Y would people get rid of there VCR player itself or vhs tapes everything proven people are more of the problem not the vhs tape itself or the VCR player itself everything proven people keep there mode switch clean out in there VCR player people will never have playing problem's or tapes getting eating at all everything proven people don't do good enough job cleaning out mode switches in VCR players

Vhs tapes don't lock up at all everything proven people like myself are fixing a break vhs tape itself with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's

hi you are right prices are silly for VHS don't know why it's all over all the formats at this time in the uk i stopped buying vhs decks SVHS tapes i have i moved them to the ADAT recorder to reuse them

Here's a video of another MX-100 ejecting: ruclips.net/user/shortsdheDj2Ov6Sw?feature=share

6:30 don't worry the eject is slow like that by nature. I have a few other VCRs and the eject is way more robust so I know exactly what you mean, but it looks like the tape mechanism is really built to be that way, I've another video of this VCR and the eject is exactly the same, don't know if you noticed though but the eject on this VCR is super silent you don't get that typical whirring noise. I believe that most VCRs used the mode swicthing motor to eject (the motor on the top left corner) or a seperate loading motor while our VCRs use the capstan motor to eject, that's why it's slower and more silent. I'm also happy to know that those "snapping" noises and that back and forth "hesitation" the mechanism does before threading the tape , sounds EXACTLY the same as mine. So I assume everything's working properly.

For $5 that was a steal! I have the same VCR I bought on eBay about 10 years ago, it was 100€ at the time, but due to poor shipping it had a cracked corner, a cracked front panel PCB that I had to repair and the door flap was loose rattling inside, fortunately it didn't damage anything and I got a partial refund. It a very cool VCR, the belt on mine also became loose, I boiled the belt for 5 minutes and managed to squeeze a few more years out of it, but it's now loose again. Unfortunately my unit has a fault on it with the hifi section, it plays pre recorded tapes just fine but when I record a tape it seems like the hifi signal on the tape is very weak, I get pops and crackles and ocasional dropouts. I don't think it's worn heads because playback is excellent on other tapes, I believe the RF circuitry is recording a weak signal on the tape.
