Tape loads ok but will not play or record, display shows Er01. Tape will function ok both fast forward and fast rewind. Please help.
There is a cam to load the tape, and it sounds like that is shot. Probably easier to buy another VCR at a resale shop. Sorry.
SOURCE: loads tape then stops - won't play rewind fast
Way to go. Usually if you use anisotropic Alcohol with a few Q-tips works well I've found.
Try cleaning the other tap path items like the capstan that the pinch roller get's pushed up to also with this Alcohol. The cleaner the better the tape goes through. Much better picture.

Try cleaning the pinch roller. A cotton bud dipped in methylated spirits should work, you may need several. Play a tape through to clean off the methanol residue. Avoid touching any semionductors !
If this doesn't work, you've just a tired motor.
