Looking for someone who still fixes VCRs. I have a vintage RCA VKP-950. I've replaced all the belts and put in a new idler, but the spindles still don't work correctly. Someone had worked on it before I purchased it, and said "just needs new belts." But there's something else wrong, and I don't know what it is. I did discover that the left spindle was missing a washer, so it was too low and scraping on the frame. I don't know what else is missing or not functioning correctly.
It will thread tape, but will spill out the right side. Despite my best efforts to lubricate the spindles, they barely turn when the idler is engaged.
I don't know what else to do, and I don't want to buy another one. I'd rather pay someone to fix this one.
I tried calling 5 or 6 different TV repair places, and none of them will fix VCRs anymore.
