Wow. I hope it still works...

The Mulan tape was wedged in there somehow. I got it out. I hope the thing didn't get damaged...

I now have the top off the VCR, and it plugged in, so I can see what's going on inside. Is this the electronics-geek version of having the side panel off your tower with the thing running?

I have this little plastic piece that I don't know what is.




The default testing tape is now the dollar store Sailor Moon episode. The Mulan tape came out just fine (we hope); the problem inside has to do with the tape holding/accepting/ejecting mechanism, which is busted in a non-evident way. The plastic piece looks to have broken off, which bodes ill for future use of the thing.

*sigh*

Grump.

All I can say is, last I looked, Fry's was selling VCR's here in Austin for like $30.
