Re: Problem with Sony Betamax SL-8080 VCR
Thanks for your reply.
Well I cleaned it out as best I could with some compressed air. Put it back together and let it "warm" up for a bit. It's winter over here so I thought there might be some issues to do with possible condensation as well.
It now recognizes the presence of a tape and the motor starts spinning accordingly.
But apart from that, there is no further movement. The loading ring does not revolve. The tape is not threaded at all.
I'll have a look at that service manual you've linked to.
