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.

Hi,
This kind of problem occurs if safety record switch itself become defective, safety tab of VHS tape push record switch located in VHS mechanism, if this switch becomes defective/ contacts clogged then system control chip wont get its signal and assume that tape record tab is open and tape is not recordable.
Please check record switch in VHS mechanism and make sure it is working, clean its contact with small piece of sad paper if found clogged, this will fix contact problem and safety tab of VHS tape will close safety record switch then VCR will start recording on tape.
Hope these info will help you.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.
