Well, I acquired yet more electronic "junk" at the weekend!  This one's
a 1980 Philips video cassette recorder, model VR2020.  It takes the
amazing Philips "VCC" or "Video 2000" tapes which I believe are unique
in that you can turn them over and record on the other side!

Now the bad news is that the machine's servo system seems to be faulty
and Philips no longer supply manuals or circuit diagrams (schematics).
The symptom of the fault, BTW, is that the sound is OK, but the video
won't sync up in the vertical direction.

So, does any one know where I can get a manual/circuit for this thing?
Thanks in advance...
