I made the mistake of thinking that because I replaced the belts on a late 80's RCA VCR and understood the mechanism that I was ready to work on one of these old beta units. I was so very wrong,they are ludicrously complex machines. I feared it might be caps,or at least cap related. would that also cause the loading problem or is that purely mechanical? I want to get it going if I can #1 because I have a collection of strange formats and beta is a welcome addition, #2 because I don't have the funds to purchase a "better" player, and #3 because after fixing this nothing will scare me
