Re[2]: JVC service or questions

John Neilson Posted Nov 06, 2006, in response to:Kevin

I have to unfortunately advise you that there is a great chance that you have sheared the video drum heads off, this being an expensive repair. Its bad enough to use sellotape etc to join cassette tapes on a VHS machine, but using superglue, which as you know dries hard, is just inviting the super-delicate wafer thin ferrite video heads (which are also for digital audio) to shear off as soon as they hit the joint in the tape due to the high speed that the drum spins at. I would like to be able to give better news but that is the technical facts of the matter, no joining of cassette tapes should ever be attempted nomatter how well it may appear to have been done.

    Well thank you very much for your fast response. It really is bad to hear that I damaged the drum inside of the video camera but if there is a way to fix it, would you have any idea on how expensive that would cost me because if not im going to have no choice but to sell it on Ebay or something which is bad for me because I only had this cam for less then a year but I guess if there is nothing i can do. So thanks again for your input beacause I would of never knew that. Thanks.
