The problem is, the motherboard under the mechanism has lots of hardwiring and it seems almost impossible to take the VCR apart without undo solderings and potentially destroying it... it would be a shame as it's my childhood's VCR
I'm hoping to find the right way to get at the mechanism's underside... just like a 1987 Grundig VS380 Hi-Fi VCR that seemed totally unserviceable due to the cramped construction and huge amount of wiring, until i noticed that the entire chassis just hinged out neatly... but it took quite a while to figure it out
By the way, this 1987 grundig is a real masterpiece, it has an U-loading system and direct drive coreless DC motors for the reel spindles, capstan and head... no idlers and belts to wear out here!
Sadly, this grundig, like 99,9% of VCRs on earth, is unable to play back the linear stereo soundtrack of my old tapes recorded on the Hitachi VT8
