B&O 8802 (Philips VR2022) - Controller confusion
https://youtu.be/uJ85FYbZKKs
Hello, I thought I'd finally get round to looking at this Bang & Ulufsen video 2000 recorder which is a clone of the Philips VR2022. I've been putting it off because I have never understood why these 1st generation V2000 machines tend to get all "confused" and never seem to be repairable. I know some on this forum seem to have had success so I am hoping there is something basic here that I am missing. Check out my YT video of the problem. Stays laced and front panel not responding at all. Take-up/Supply reels turning slowing all the time. - I have tried the main controller board in a known working VR2022 machine and the controller does what it should - controller board working then - I have tried a known working VR2022 power supply board in the B&O and no difference to the YT video - not the power supply then - I have transplanted a complete VR2022 head deck into the B&O and no difference to the YT video - not the head deck then. - I tried the "hidden reset button" while powering up. Clock resets to zero but no other difference. Can anyone tell me what they test/replace/try out in these situations as I see variants of this problem in most 1st gen V2000s. Many thanks Rob Last edited by collisr; 4th Dec 2020 at 11:03 am. Reason: Forgot to add YT link |
