This one's a little bit different insofar as we're looking at a Sony SL-C6 Mark 1 Betamax. We've had a couple of Mark 2 C6's on the channel but never a Mark 1 and i did see a few of these back in the 90's with belt/ idler/ servo issues.
This is part 1 of three where we look at the servo circuit and go through with some detail which capacitors you need to swap out.
Part 2 and Part 3 will cover the heads and belts/idlers
Hope you enjoyed this one - lots more on various formats of video recorders to come.
