VCRs that will last forever

[jfrog1983]

I didn't know you had to remove the whole shaft. Ed was telling me all you have to do is desolder, and remove the 2 screws on top of the drum, and maybe use a hairdryer if it doesn't come off easily.

Luckily none of my Panasonic VCR's need new drums, even the PV-1545 that was given to me from the previous owner that bought the thing new in 1984.

Now, the power supplies on these are a different story, the caps are gonna need replacing soon.
