Audio drops out every few sec.(3 sec.) then ok for about 5 sec. it seams as i shake camcorder lightly side to sides the intervals changes too +1 -1. i have red here problem as tape misalignment which is minor repair and also a repair which cost $250/450. So any other idea? any recommendation on repair shop? Thanks

The direction is changed when the motor driving the tape spool senses resistance such as when the tape reaches the end!

If the tape you are testing it with is ok then it could be the motor needs cleaning or replacing!

You have a hesitation. A hesitation is cause be either:
1. bad spark plug
2. bad spark plug wire
3. bad or leaky or plugged injector
4. timing is off
5. leaky vacuum hose

take it or ship it to video tech service. they will clear it and go from there. it may need some tension adustments in addition. The guy there is super cool.

while your monitoring the sound when recording it cuts out or while you playback the tape it dropps out? if it's noticed during playback it's one 3 things. the heads are dirty, the tape tension is low or the heads are bad. send it to video tech service in sacramento. that guy is super cool.
