JVC VCR S-5990AM Counter Problems



Hi All,
I have a JVC S-5990AM VCR. I bought it 2nd hand and thanks to the SCI
Electronics pdf guide, have cleaned the heads satisfactorily and
improved the picture tracking by adjusting the heads and rollers.

However. :-)
I'm not sure if it's through my "tuning" or it was an existing
problem, but the counter doesn't work accurately when I rewind tapes.
Generally it doesn't count as the tape starts rewinding and then
'wakes up' after a little while (usually 2-7 minutes of tape, so that
when the cassette is fully rewound the counter reads somewhere between
2 and 7+ minutes instead of 0:00:00.
In forward direction it seems fine.

Any ideas?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I must say I find Panasonic and Sony machines far more intuitive/
logical to operate, but it is so hard to find a good quality VCR these
days, I want to try and stick with this one if I can.

Many thanks, J
.
