    I totally agree on leaded solder. I hate working on something with lead-free solder because it's much higher temp to melt and harder to desolder things cleanly. My good old 63/37 leaded solder from over 30 years ago works great and makes very nice solder joints. I also inherited a couple old spools of 60/40 solder that makes a very nice shiny joint. It's not like I'm going to eat the stuff, and I always wash my hands after doing solder work.

      I recently picked up an NV-FS75 that functionally works quite well, however even though I've cleaned the heads extensively there is some RGB color noise during playback and recording. I suppose in theory both the read and write heads could be 'worn out' in the same way, but I suspect something else is causing it. I had a quick go at checking some caps on the power supply, and I found a few small ones at the very end of the secondary circuit that needed replacing, but it didn't seem to make a difference (even though I didn't trust those caps regardless). Is it worth taking the time to really open up the PSU to remove all the electrolytic caps and replace them, or could the color noise be coming from somewhere else?

    • @michaell2120
      @michaell2120 8 дней назад

      @@alexss3 If the FS75 is anything like the FS90 it has some surface mount electrolytic caps that fail in the Y/C processing area. Look for a hybrid board with a white ceramic look to it. The SM caps leak. There are very few SM caps in these machines luckily. Recapping the PSU is par for the course for this era of machines. Use 105 degree caps. I've seen it cause herring bone interference on the picture. PSU's are pretty reliable other than caps.

This alters the angles of the tape path and in my case the tape wasn't touching the ACE assembly which measures the time.

    I found there was too much grease on my carriage, so I cleaned excess off the rack gear and made sure it ejected and loaded using my hand a few times then refitted it and it worked. I had earlier just realigned the whole mechanism (following the g deck video) after I bought it and realised the p5 wasn't correctly connected to the sector gear (one tooth out) now it works ok. Mode switch is next to clean, but like yours it's in a real awkward place and there's an additional motor blocking access. I've had to order a rachet screwdriver to undo the screw behind the motor so I can get to the mode switch. I might buy a NV-D48 since it uses the same split washers and circlips and I could do with some spares. Great video, enjoyed watching you troubleshooting.

    Great video. I have a mint condition 7AF, looks identical, but I think with added macro. Do you know if it’s a similar build to the 8AF? It has a bit of ‘CCD rot’ and was thinking of trying to fix it. I fear I’m going to mess it up more, although it’s kind of useless with 1/4 of the image blurry.

    This was the best era of VHS machines for Panasonic. Not all technicians liked the complexity of the G & G2 mech but it was pretty reliable if you knew what to proactively service. These machines had the reverse motor to improve review mode and frame by frame advance. It's F70 cousin had a flying erase head on the drum for frame accurate editing. The syncro edit connector allowed you to syncronise two decks for accurate insert editing. Not bad for a domestic machine.

    I remember working on these. We did call them G revised mechs. The A to D converter and RAM are probably for the super still pause. They sample and hold the frame for a perfect pause.

    HI FI audio it's ok, only it has no indicator for stereo. When the tape has stereo sound, L and R appear on the VU meter. If the sound is mono, the VU meter only indicates that without those L R squares.

    Its funny how they built this crazy complex mechanism just to save 1 motor. They should have just done the same as V2000 and directly drive the reels with two independent DC motors. At least for high end models like this one. I guess they didnt want to redesign the whole thing, so they just bodged a bunch of stuff onto thair standard G-mech for high end models. Thanks for your videos, interesting stuff!

Also the videoheads are mounted on piezoelectric actuators for automatic track following. Lots of super wacky stuff going on with V2000, looking foreward to your analysis!

    Great video! If you want that machine to work at its peak, you are going to need to replace every single "Jade Green" TOSIN capacitor in it. In my unit, nearly all of those had ESR values of 10-30 ohms which were definitely bad. They were just a terrible brand of capacitors in general, or at least did not age well. I'm not a big fan of ELNA caps either, but those were mostly ok in this unit, My question for you is whether component output is active when playing a regular VHS tape? Reason I'm asking is that I don't plan to ever put a WVHS tape in mine, so if there's no component output, there's really no reason to do any recapping of those SMT caps on the bottom board *IF* it is only used for WVHS. The other question is if the 3D YC button seems to do anything for you when playing back a regular VHS tape?

    • @Elecami
      @Elecami Месяц назад

      Sucks about the capacitors, I probably won't get around to doing that. No spare time. I think the component is only for the W-VHS part, that might have been why I did not see it working correctly in W-VHS mode. The input and output needs to be through the component for the W-VHS to work correctly. Maybe I'll investigate this one again once I get through al the other VCRs. Not sure on the the TBC, I assume it is involved with regular VHS and S-VHS.
