Question Chinon VC1700 Camcorder Can you Help

As an older retired service engineer who suffers from sight and shakes to some degree I take on "dumb" projects to keep me going until I get faulty items to fix for real.

I took on an old Chinon VC1700 camcorder of the VHS-C brigade thought it would be fun plus soldering practice, smd caps had failed so I have fixed the worst, and it now "talks" to me from being dead. Its drum will not spin up but will load and FF and REW till it shuts down soon after, now I know finding a Chinon manual is Very rare but figure these machines were a combination of various manufacturers at that time.

Could anyone help me by telling me whose deck this is (pictures enclosed), plus I have a few board numbers if they will identify it further.

VE0542A, VE0541A, M492, VV0266B, VV0267B and VM0041B

Many thanks from David

They sound like Panasonic part numbers. I can't help any further though.

Panasonic used VEH part numbers for the head drums and VEM for the capstan motors on their VCRs. Not sure if camcorders are different though.
