Re: Philips VR2022 issues
I can't profess to being an expert on these machines but you could have more than one issue with it.
The play button itself could be worn and making intermittent contact. This used to happen with Grundig's version of the V2000.
The tapes could be faulty or worn causing intermittent loss of picture.
If the machine is switching itself off altogether there could be a power supply fault or even a loose connection in the mains lead or plug.
The Rifa cap blowing won't produce symptoms like this.
Don't be tempted to use the cleaning tape as they are quite abrasive and overuse will wear out/damage the video heads.
Hopefully somebody with knowledge of this model will be able to give you some further advice.
Michael.
