Re: Sanyo VTC 9455 Betamax - No colour
Update: I managed to find an NTSC tape. I tried to play it and surprisingly, it seems I was wrong in post #1. The system selector switch is actually working. If set it to AUTO, it plays the NTSC tape in correct speed (BII tape) but still in black and white. If I set it to PAL or SECAM, the tape plays slow, as expected. So, the switch is working but maybe a voltage in the chroma circuit is missing.
Also, which lubricant do you recommend to fix the sluggish loading mechanism? I have to turn the loading ring by hand in order to unthread the tape...
