Problem for Sanyo VWM-950 VHS VCR

Spindles don't move anymore

The usual thing happened... tape stopped playing, machine turned off, turned machine back on and it ejected tape with some of it hanging out. Normally I just push tape back in and it corrects itself, but this time it just hung. I couldn't get the machine to release the tape (stuck in down (play) position), so I removed the lid, the front panel and the top bracket. Then I cut the protection piece off the tape cartridge and slid the tape out from the mechanism and thru the front (where I had removed the panel).

I put the machine back together, except for the lid (which I never screw back on anyway). I plugged it in and it went thru the load/unload movements twice. Then I put a tape in and the spindles did not move to grab the tape. It just spun as in fast forward and the take-up reel could not keep up with the feed reel. Note: When I put the tape in I heard a loud noise and suspect something snapped, probably a nylon piece. I uplugged it right away, but it was too late. I need a schematic to figure out what has broken and if it can be fixed.

Thanks

The most likely culprits here are belts. This unit has belts and a rubber idler. Replace all of the rubber parts and you should be OK. This is a normal maintenance procedure for VCRs.
