Play VHS tapes while sideways and upside down (Goldstar GCP-C135)
Oh no, I'm looking at a VHS deck again! This one seemed a bit more interesting than a run of the mill VHS deck from the 90s simply because of the use case this was designed to exist in. Let's see if this old thing actually works!

Tinning corroded pins on the trash-picked CGA card

    I've been using a 1.05GB Seagate Hawk 50 pin SCSI hard-disk as my C drive with an Adaptec AHA-1542CP SCSI controller in my IBM 5170 for a decade now. That hard drive was manufactured in 1993. Perfect. No data loss of any kind. Yes, MFMs were goofy with data over time. Love my SCSI drive in my 5170. Great video. Thanks for sharing all that work.

    be careful with windex with ammonia, often times the ammonia can eat plastics slowly over time. I personally use ammonia-free windex when it comes to electronics, not only is it safer for the environment, it's safer around tech. I just use store brand but you can get name brand too.

    Hope you recover soon, Adrian. Earlier single-speed VHS machines did provide quite decent still-frame and trick-play results. The issue with the 2-head SP/LP/EP machines is the head wafers are thinner to accommodate the narrower tracks needed for the long-play modes. You will likely find LP/EP recordings give a better image in trick-play modes on this machine.

    I remember back in the 90s my uncle had a VHS camcorder. It was pretty big, it went on your shoulder, had a very small viewfinder that stuck out either left or right, had a boom microphone (horrible quality) on the top, an attachable light that slid on.. it had an angled handle with some function buttons on it. It didn't have an addition playback screen on it, had to use the viewfinder, but it was ok.. that thing recorded a LOT of video back in the day.. SO many tapes.. they're all junk now I'm sure.. but what memories

    17:21 - The moving post is what controls the felt band tension. So, if the post gets pushed to the right due to increased tape tension, that loosens up the band, and vice versa. 19:37 - Counter Clockwise. I had to do a double check on one of Dave's videos, so I got it correctly. It's CCW. The head drum spins in the same direction as the tape passes by on, to help it move forward. 28:21 - That's how the brake mechanism works; at the start of fast winding the brakes, being spring loaded, are getting 'wound up' into a position where at the end of it they just get released to snap against the spindles for instant braking action. This is completely normal. 30:35 - On the bottom of the picture there's usually a pulse of 'noise' (in alternating spots between the frames, but there's just one actually), that's the very spot where the switch between the heads occur; interestingly, the engineers of practically all magnetic tape formats decided that it won't happen in a blanking area, but just a few lines before the active picture area ends. I assume the practical reason for this is making the head switching visible without having to use a special monitor that can be desynced, to monitor tape tension, but without impacting much of the screen area. Incorrect tape tension can cause a horizontal 'shear' effect on the lines immediately after the head switch. The position of head switch pulse also changes along with changes made in the tracking, relative to the horizontal sync pulse. IMHO that was a missed opportunity of implementing tracking without the use of a linear tracking signal, sensing the time relation of the head switch pulse and the horizontal sync pulse. AFAIK, no manufacturer did that. Any VCR is supposed to be able to operate in any position. The cassette door tends to jam in some tho, in my experience. Feel better soon, Adrian!
