Mine is a Sunbeam - no levers, two dials only. No problems so far for $20.

Well that can always change. I'm open to having a contest for people to
submit suggestions on making it better.

If you ever saw the inside of one of these things you would only run
it on a GFCI or buy another brand.

I've never seen the point. I cannot say I have seen electronics improve any
sort of toaster, and it sure doesn't help with reliability or
serviceability.

Sure they can, who hasn't had the frustration of pushing a toaster down a
half dozen times while trying to toast a piece of bread when it's still hot
from the last piece? There's a toaster in the lounge at work that's
electronic and it always toasts consistently regardless of whether it's hot
or cool.

A good toaster uses a double stroke thermal motor so this should not be a
problem.

I measured the screen voltage and it was almost 300V. I

adjusted it and Lo and behold now it did make a difference in the
raster! I then went into the menu and cranked up the brightness,
connected the antenna and now I have a normal picture.

I've found that on low end models that don't have any A\V jacks, customers
(usually their kids) try to hook up RCAs from their games or DVD players into
the G2 and Focus access ports on the back of the TV. This will invariably
leave the TV with brightness as well as focus issues. If the TV doesn't have
A\V jacks, that's what likely happened.

This is true, however it was bought for my kids bedroom christmas time last
year for $199? or something like that...

You know, I've never heard anyone buy $5 shoes and complain when the heel falls
off....

TVs like that are specifically built to last the warranty period. You're on
bonus time after that.

Hi,

Problem is the clutch is "binding" which stops it engaging the gears.

To get to this part, you need to remove the loading mechanism, and two
screws on either side. The assembly can be found in most of the JVC
series so it shouldn't be too hard to find or buy one.

I've seen this problem on mine so its not hard to fix.

Make sure that you align the loading mechanism correctly on
replacement, the hole at 12.00 on the black gear should align over a
small hole in the chassis. If it doesen't then tweak the eject motor
until it lines up, then fix the loading mechanism with the far right
hand screw, check that it works then replace the rest.

regards,
-A

Hi,

I recapped my powersupply with panasonic FC series (low esr 105deg)
electrolytics in my JVC HR-S4700U about a month ago. I have used the
tuner since then without problems. My problem now is that the VCR
doesn't work well with tapes. I've got the service manual and I've
recently replaced the following:

Loading belt
Pinch roller
Mode Switch (didn't realize I could have cleaned my original)
Capstan Gear (original had cracked but still seemed fine - better to
change it)

In the manual there is a procedure to check the main deck without the
cassette housing. Once the housing is out of the way (unobstucted
view of the main deck) you have to disable the End-Sensor with an
opaque cover (I used heat shrink). Then connect pins 2 and 3 on the
Deck-Terminal board connector 3 (CN3). I used a computer jumper to
short these pins. Then it says I should be able to select a mode of
operation. It cautions that if I try a reverse direction it will
stop
after a few seconds because of the reel sensor.

After setting up the above (without vhs tape) and powering on the VCR
the mode motor spins the worm clutch so the control cam rotates CCW -
about 90 degrees. This causes the Pinch roller to start to drop into
place. It only moves down slightly then stops and the mode motor
reverses direction. The mode motor forces the control cam to rotate
CW until part of it hits the stop on the half loading gear. The
loading belt then just slips on the worm clutch for a second or so
and
the VCR powers off.

When I replaced the loading belt I made sure the alignment holes
though the cam/gears matched as well as the half loading and guide
arm
assemblies and plate assembly under the main deck.

When I tried testing with the cassette housing and a real vhs tape
(no
jumper and heat shrink used) it will either:

1) Load tape. Play the tape but the take up reel doesn't seem to work
as the tape starts snaking it's way all over the place after the
capstan/pinch roller. I quickly hit stop and eject to save the tape.

2) Load tape. Play fine and even play with forward search. As soon
as
I hit rewind search it started to pile up tape then sensed something
wrong and shut off.

3) Load tape. I then just hit eject (no attempt to play) and it
doesn't fully reel in the tape and it ejects the cassette.

I looked at the idler gear and it seems fine. The teeth on it and
the
clutch assembly both appear fine. The timing belt looks good. I can
rotate the capstan motor and it spins the idler gear via the clutch.

I'm new to fixing VCRs but I've learned a lot more on how they work.
Just not enough to get mine running smoothly. Anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
burnboy

The problem is probably the rubberized edges on the nylon wheels.
Similar problem with rim driven turntables, the rubber gets hard and
glazed. The surfaces contact each other, but there is not enough
friction to get the power transferred. Maybe Bill T can resurface those
wheels for you.

There are also rubber-rejuvenation chemicals.

As a test, I'd try a light coat of rubber cement on the wheels and let it

Yes. Always a good idea to turn everything off except a light.

Yes, depending on where you live.

I checked Grandata and they don't list an assembly for the 705. Most of the
Yamaha's seem to use the KSS210A, do you know if the 705 also uses it?

Thank you

(but i didn't realise it was a fault until my
girlfriend told me so because I'd never had a washing machine before).

My wife keep moaning about this problem and keeps nagging for me to
get a plumber -

Make sure that they're not both in the room at the same time. ;-)

Thanks for any info

Try turning the tap down a bit to reduce pressure in the inlet pipe.

Most thermostats have a switch which lets you run the fan with the AC
neither heating not cooling. Is it off? Also, check the stack switch as it
has a similar switch (like a button) that must be pushed in for normal
operation.

Have you opened the back? Any chance a lever on the control shaft is
held by a set screw... and can be "set up" a bit?

Yes, have been looking at the guts all day. The "heart" of the whole thing
is the selector switch which turns a multi-cam unit that controls various
elements of the mechanics. Quite an ingenious arrangement. Unfortunately it
appears something's not working right and damned if I can figure out what it
is.
