Hey, I am trying to fix this VCR and I have concluded that the video heads
must be worn down (the only way the picture is clear is if I put a lot of
back tension on the tape -- so much so that the sound starts to be effected).
So I found where I can get a pretty cheap replacement head. The problem is
I can't get the !@#$%^&* thing off!! I unscrewed the two screws on top and
pulled and it just doesn't come off. There is even an allen screw underneath
but THAT didn't help. I don't see what all these screws are for if removing
them doesn't effect anything! Do I need a special tool for this or something?
Or do I have to pull the whole head assembly out? Its a SYLVANIA VC2234SL01.
Ben.
