Excellent update, another success story folks can read, and learn how easy and worthwhile it is to repair these high quality machines. (High quality recording abilities, that is! Maybe not build from the best parts, but that can be changed, and is what this whole ordeal has been about!)
Not sure if the power save function works the same on the D-VHS off-hand, but it's worth a try. Keep us updated on how that goes for you, too
Thanks for the follow-up.
