Default JVC VCR PSU problems

Hi,

I’m having problems with JVC 8700ek S-VHS player I recently got.

When plugging in from a cold start up ie being unplugged for 24 hours then plugging it back in all that seems to happen is the fluorescent display flickers and there is a very slight clicking coming from the PSU. Then after about 30 seconds to a minute it’ll power up and work completely fine.

Something is obviously not working correctly until it’s been heated up.

Do you think this could be PSU capacitors on their way out or some other component?

Thought I’d ask on here first for some suggestions as these late VCR’s aren’t very service friendly And isn’t easy to test any components in circuit with having to remove the whole board and loading mechanism
