    By the looks of it, even though that model was sold in North America it looks like that's an Eastern European import, The IEC connectors on the back and the D/K tuner on the back suggests it's from Eastern Europe.
    I have the AIWA HV MX-100 which seems better built, I love that VCR and it seems like it's one of the most worldwide compatible if not THE most compatible VCR. It has two tuners/modulators, one is NTSC-M channel 3-4 the other is European UHF B/G - I - D/K, it has both IEC and F RF connectors, it can record and play NTSC, PAL, SECAM, PAL-M and PAL-N tapes and convert between any of those systems, I think it's the most versatile VCR out there, oh and it's also 6 head HIFI Stereo which is pretty neat.
    It will work literally anywhere in the world.

    Dave, you can source this mech from Orion and Funai VCRs. Like Funai V3EE MK6, and I have a Dual VCR with the same mech as well, and a playback only Orion (don't know those model numbers from the top of my head). I hate this mech because of the too many belts in it. I bought the Dual in last summer, the same gear cracked the same way as I was trying to turn it... :-) .

    A friend has a couple of Aiwa converter VCRs (different model than this) and each has a different problem. One blew a hole in an IC but still works sometimes. The other stripped a gear in the loading system and needs a push to load.
    He managed to limp through using them somehow. I looked on eBay for a replacement or parts machine but the prices were insane.

    I've had an Aiwa MX100 multi system VHS recorder in my garage for years, waiting for repairs. I got it at the Goodwill Store and there was a tape stuck in it. It's probably a simple problem (mode switch, I reckon) but it's a PITA to service because there are basically no wires between the mechanism and the motherboard: everything is connected via contacts that come together by putting the machine together.

  • @Watcher3223
    @Watcher3223 3 года назад +1

    Well, to be fair, this VCR is likely well beyond the manufacturer's intended service life.
    I mean, I have hi-fi VCRs that are approaching 40 years of age, especially my SL-2710. It still works fine, but it's just a matter of time before certain plastic parts fail owing to age. It's amazing that it's lasted this long.

    Aiwa were a funny company. They were as said a company with a close relationship to Sony, however they had some factories around the world which had little to do with even other Japanese firms.
    For several years in the 1980s/90s they made stereo systems in the UK which were built from Philips kits, for example. Quite a few very cheap CDM4/TDA1541 based midi-sized CD players which don't bear much resemblance to the Belgian Philips ones (better quality build too - metal cases, beefier transformers, VFD displays rather than cheapo LCD etc).

      Yes, Sony had an habit of using third party decks back in the day. European Sony VHSs only used around 4-5 different own mechs. Sanyo, Hitachi and Funai were among their favorite ones. Later machines also incorporated a Samsung deck, which was a lightweight cheap not quite reliable mechanism.

    • @mrnmrn1
      @mrnmrn1 3 года назад +1

      ​@@Vintaginside The Samsung ones were actual Samsung VCRs with Sony badge on them, even the menu icons were the same as on the Samsung variant. Not just the mech was Samsung, but everything. Those mechanisms generally are quite reliable, except the clutch on the pendulum gear, which fails frequently, and not available anymore (since about 2010).
      They fail probably due to the x400 rewind speed, and the plastic actuator arm of the clutch that tries to survive the friction at those crazy speeds, at one point it wears out and then the machnine will fast forward and rewind with the clutch in playback mode. This literally melts the clutch quite fast.
      Everyone who uses Samsung VCRs for archiving should use external VHS winders if they want their machine to last and not self-destruct.
      I've also seen rotten and open circuit rotary transformer in a practically new Samsung SV-635X from 2000. The same fault that Dave shown with a Panasonic, the glue turned corrosive, but that Panasonic was 10-15 years older.

      No he bought it off of eBay that's how it arrived and then once I told him the problems he told me to throw it out.

      Aiwa was a sister company to Sony. I found that out back in 1984 when I worked for Sony.
