I have several panasonic G chassis vcr's in the shop with the same problem. The

will and will not load at times.

Mode switch.
This is most likely your problem. G chassis are known for this problem.
On G-chassis with mechanical problems I usually replace all gears (about $15
a set). This guaranteed to fix most mechanical faults on G-chassis.
