Sony VCR, model unknown

My lackadaisical camera work came back to bite me on this one. I'm pretty certain there's a model number written on the front, but I didn't get a clear picture of it before I threw the remains of the VCR away. It doesn't really matter so much: this is a fairly generic VCR, inside and out.


It's been a long time since I took this apart, so I don't remember the story of why there is no top panel.


Like I said, I tried to take a picture of the model number, but the autofocus decided to focus on the box fan in the background.


Tape carriage removed. Standard disassembly followed, so I didn't bother to take pictures.


Relatively small parts pile for a VCR.

I see more fans than I pick up. They're generally too bulky to transport long distances, and even when they're not, there are so few useful parts in them that it's just not worth it most of the time. This one is an exception, much like the last one I wrote about, because I found it right outside my apartment building.


This is one of those box fans where the louvers spin to create oscillation. They're almost hypnotic to watch as well. Well, this one's probably not spinning anymore, so at least I can get the big sprocket that turns it.


But first, I'll get the buttons from the control panel. This being a box fan, there's not much to it.


Then again, maybe I won't get that sprocket. The back grate came off without much fuss, but on the whole this fan didn't want to come apart.


All I got were just the buttons. A note about the paper under them: I'm a bit embarrassed at how long it took me to solve the problem of the glare coming off the floor. Not a perfect solution (still hard to see transparent parts, and now white parts blend in too), but it didn't cost anything, so I'm happy with it.

No entry last week, as I was trying to catch up on adding some text to some older posts. There were more than I thought, so I'm not completely done yet.

On to this week's piece of junk. I'll keep it relatively brief, since I've covered this model before. Though, somewhat ironically, I took more pictures this time than of the first one.


This specimen is more complete than the other one I took apart. It still has all of its outer housing parts. It doesn't really matter to me, though, since I can't use any of them.


This time, I remembered the less-than-obvious screw that keeps the back plate in place.



A couple of shots of the inner workings, which I didn't bother with last time, for whatever reason. Between this write-up and the last one, I guess I have a respectable entry.


Basically the same parts assortment as last time. It's nice to have multiples of certain parts though.
