Default Re: Mitsubishi HS-B52 VHS VCR playing slowly

The first thing I'd do is to get hold of a genuine LP tape and see if that plays correctly with good servo lock. If it does then you have a very odd speed switching fault - the LP sign would then be on the display. If it doesn't then I'd be looking at the capstan motor - is it free and is the driven clutch not slowing it down?

Crossed with Tony - do check the ACE head is clean and in visual alignment. You never know who's been here before you!
