Picked up a (new to me) gadget at the Goodwill today, didn't need it, have no real use for it but it was calling to me for $9.99
It's an RCA 8mm VCR model VR800HF.
It works but the playback has no color except for a random rainbow flashing on the screen .
Could this be because I used a tape from my 8mm DV camera that fits physically but may be an incompatible format?? Or maybe the head is dirty/worn out?
