It should be a K-chassis deck. Surface mount caps can be replaced. The later AG-1980 has the same problems with capacitors.

K-chassis and G-chassis were both built on the same platform, except the K-chassis used two timing chain belts designed for editing, but they're both prone to surface-mount caps failure. Panasonic's previous two-belt chassis mechanism from the mid-80s didn't have this type of problem.

It's the first board at the right side hanging vertically shown on the photo, with the blue-color chip at the bottom. There are two hybrid IC boards hanging on top with it with multiple solder joints. There are silver-color surface mount caps underneath them. Do you see them?
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT an easy repair job and NOT worth fixing. You need to unsolder all 30-50 joints for two boards, and it's very difficult to put them back in. You're better off buying another AG-1970. Last edited by waltchan; 12-03-2013 at 03:58 PM. |

Is the board in question the Y/C separation (comb filter) board? If so, the equivalent board in the AG-1980 is the source of all kinds of playback woes. It has 30+ capacitors on it that usually fail, but nothing covering them to prevent repair. Someone over at videohelp had a AG-1970 with a dead comb filter with its share of problems.
