I take it that the problems aren't going to be easy to fix? If so should I just tell my friend at church that the VCR is just about had it and that he just needs to break down and buy another VCR?
Obviously he's gonna have to buy another older VCR (seeing as VCRs are no longer made and the VCRs made over the past 10 years aren't worth plunking money down on).
