Looking for someone who could service a Sony AV-3400 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi, I have found my Sony AV-3400 video recorder after it's sat in the loft for a few years.

I have powered it up but it is completely lifeless. I remember that it worked correctly before it was put away but now there's nothing. I thought that it may have been the motor bushes but there isn't even a clunk from the solenoids when the power is applied so I think there's a fault with the power input.

Does anyone on the forum service these and are willing to take a look at it as I would like to try and get it working for Christmas time!

Thanks!

I might have some servicing information for another model from the period.
I have not worked on a R/R video for a good few years though.
