My Sony SLV-E470EG VCR is now operating in a weird manner after rewinding or fast-forwarding the tape. All functions behave OK, until stop or play is pressed during a fast-forward or rewind operation. At that point a noise of a motor running without effect is heard for about 4 seconds. From that point onward the play, rewind and fast forward commands do not produce any action. An eject command will start rewinding the tape (at relatively low speed) for about 20 seconds. After that point the tape will be ejected. When the tape is loaded again the cycle (normal play / eject, until play / stop is hit during rewind / fast-forward) can be repeated. I have read the VCR part of the Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ and tried the various suggestions. The VCR has only a single belt, which has gears and appears to be OK. The only visible problem I could see was a partially unglued rubber break pad on the supply spindle, which I fixed. All gears appear to be intact, and no foreign materials appear to be blocking them. I would appreciate any ideas you may have. Diomidis Spinellis - http://www.spinellis.gr
