Re: Ferguson Videostar FV31R Repairs
Ah, good to know that the battery is just for channel storage. I've unsoldered it for now but yes, probably no point in getting another. I did wonder when I switched it on afterwards and it had remembered the time!
Only thing left in that case is the slipping drive belt.
I've found a belt kit on a site marked as "THORN FV31R belt kit" Does that sound like the right one?
Found it interesting to see a hall effect motor on the capstan that doubles as the reel FF and REW motor. Nice to see some controlled rewinding of spools as it reaches the ends.
