Orion Vr0101a VCR

well check out what I have today it's a Zenith color TV VCR combination no it's not a flat-screen it's a big box TV so the complaint is that it eats tapes I just happen to have a tape right here I hear it load I heard a word salad I'll press play and I don't see much of anything it looks like maybe a clogged head hard to say I can't fast-forward can't rewind I can't eject it it's doing something well it didn't eat the tape that's for sure try it again oh I heard something for a second I'm wondering if the heads are just clogged because when I search I can see a little bit of video it might just need a cleaning let's go ahead and tear it apart stop eject definitely not eating the tape I'm a little apprehensive about that little chirp sound that I heard in there we'll have to get into it and find out what's making that sound alright these really weren't bad little units they were made by
