If the VCR will pass an external video signal through but not give video signal with tape than the video heads are dirty or dead, or the video circuits in the VCR are dead (only the first problem is easy to fix).

ok i have tried what i can and found it is not out putting a signal,
the heads look good ,its not out putting any thing at all so i checked for a bad plug or solder joint and they seem good,
i dont have a dvd player to try for the input but i only want to play tapes so that i think is not to important ,
well ill just dump this (another) player and find another i guess,i really had hoped this one was going to work after the belts were changed ,
mechanically this machine was working very well after a lube and belts,
oh well in the rubbish it is
ill contact you all once i find another ,they are getting hard to find in this area of the world and good reason it seems ,
this is the 6th one that has ether come to me not going or stopped working shortly after getting it,
ill try once more to get a vcr i think and if no go ill just dump all the tapes i have and try to get the movies on dvd
thanks for your input on all my threads
