Eric:
Gosh....... my shop is counting on repairs of all types to stay in

Just throw the power supply in the bin and buy a new VCR.

Workshop have enough problems, (it's all a pain in the neck and you don't
get any thanks from modern customers) today without stuffing around with
VCR's some stupid person has stuffed around with.

Buy a DVD and dump the VCR....if you must have a VCR...they are so cheap
they are not worth fixing at a hundred bucks or less unless you have
something very special....take care, Ross
