I am posting this for a friend of mine.  He has a JVC model 555 VCR that has 
developed a problem lately.  When he tries to play a tape after the machine has 
been sitting around for a while, like overnight, the machine will stop in the
middle of loading the tape and shuts off.  When he turns it back on, and try 
again, it plays normally.  If he lets it sit around for a while, the same
problem reappears.

Does anybody have any ideas what may be the problem?
